Is it possible to sort by multiple columns?

[ichmag17]

I was just wondering if there is an implemented way of sorting by multiple columns or how I could do that.

This is not yet implemented, but thanks a lot for that idea. It should not be too complicated to implement, one would need to find a proper "User Experience" for that.

@thyseus We'd be happy to contribute the change, and take on the development and UX. Do you have any specific thoughts about this feature, or should we just open a PR? Thanks!

Thanks a lot for showing the diligence to contribute to this software !

I am not sure about the "perfect" UX for that, maybe displaying a tiny digit 1, 2, 3, ... beneath the up/down arrow to indicate in which order this column is being sorted by? Just make the feature toggleable as a LivewireDatatable base class property and ensure the whole ordering is being resetted when the users requests so.

Yah it would be great to be able to Example: first sort by column "category", then by column "Name"... so that everything sorted by category, is then sorted alphabetically instead of by the ID number..
