A requested feature from our users is to maintain a tables column sorting when they switch to another window and then back to the table.
It looks like I could get the number of the selected column when they switch to the other window and then use the sortByColumn() function when they return to accomplish most of this. However I don’t see a way to determine if the column sort is ascending or descending. Does anyone know how to get that value or have a better idea for getting this done?
Edit: the selected column does not indicate anything about the column sorting. I didn’t check that out before I posted this. It only indicates which column the user clicked on when click a row or column header.
