Order array with empty direction

mdellanave83

Hi,
I noticed that the order array can contains an empty direction so the columns seems to be not ordered after 3 clicks, does it make sense?

To me, if the array contain something, than it should always have the direction populated with asc or desc (at the same time the user click should toggle between those 2 states)

What do you think?
Is there some options to rule this behavior?

It does and that is intentional. That is the "neutral order" state. Having it in the array allows it to be part of the click sequence. Say for example you wanted to do asc, neutral, desc as the click order. I don't know why one would, but this allows it to be possible!

See columns.orderSequence for more details, including how to disable the neutral ordering if you don't want it.
