How to reset sorting on table column

We can click on sort arrows in column header to sort the rows in ascending or descending order. But there is no option to reset the sorting on the column once activated. As per ideal behaviors of column sorting, the third click reset the sorting, which is not happening in case of SPARK Table, which is implemented “so nicely” in default BPM Table.

Current work around, click on some other column to reset sorting on first column, but it enables sorting on other column 🙁

Is there any proper way to reset the sorting on table column header or this need to be fixed in component.

Hi Saroj,

There is a clearSort() method available:

That’s a pain, what we are using currently. It need to be handled separately outside table controls 🙁

Any plans to support reset sorting out of the controls.

How about you keep a button above the table with title: “Reset Sort”, and then write this in onClick event:
{Table1}.clearSort();

Thanks Vignesh for your suggestion. As I mentioned above “That’s a pain, what we are using currently”

Unwanted control, located outside table, taking up extra space on screen 🙁

Hi Saroj,

There are no plans on the Roadmap to change this functionality at this time.

We would most likely modify Table to include a custom Icon at the top with the clear sort method attached.
