Perspective Table Not Sorting On Number

Ignition v8.1.35
Perspective

I have a table bound to a named query that returns a list of orders. I have a Priority column which I would like to sort.
In the designer, I only have the Priority column selected as sortable and also have sort as ascending. Following the advice from other posts, I left the numberFormat to none.

In the designer, the table is sorted correctly. I can also change the sort property and the table will reflect the change in preview mode.

However, when I open the view in browser. I get this. Notice that the sort arrow is not selected.

No matter what I set the column's sort property to, the browser view does not change.
I have tried setting sortOrder, but that does not help.

The only way for the browser view to appear sorted is to add
ORDER BY [Priority] ASC
to the named query.

This works, but my expectation is that I should be able to configure the table columns to sort.

The sortable property merely allows sorting. Presort your data as you are for the component's initial condition.

Thank you for the assurance, @pturmel.
