Hi Jessica, I just wonder if we could implement the sort on the server? I mean that we could avoid a lot of requests to the server, if add API to sort data (or maybe we already have a similar API? couldn't find). For example, if clicking on column header to sort, send one request to the server with param sortby=fieldName and then get sorted data from the server.
Is it possible?
