Noting that a workaround solution for changing the sort order of the State column is provided in this post: [Sort Order for State in Alarm Status Table](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/sort-order-for-state-in-alarm-status-table/106596)

The solution is to enable the isAcked and isActive columns, set their width to zero, and set the sort order of isAcked to ascending. Then set the activeSortOrder to 0:isActive, 1:isAcked, … etc. example 2: priority, 3: activeTime and so on.
