Extend 'SortingFn' API with direction

[martinboksa]

Hi guys,
It would be very nice to extend sorting fn with direction.

My use case:

My table contains 2-row types: 'sets' and 'items'. And I need to sort only 'items' which are children of 'sets'. It means 'sets' have always the same position and only their items change positions. This works perfectly

PROBLEM: Item has a special rule that 'undefined' value should be always at the bottom and I cannot do it without 'sort direction' in API

How?

Pass parameter isDesc to function :)

table/packages/table-core/src/utils/getSortedRowModel.ts

Line 72 in 4e3e735

let sortInt = columnInfo.sortingFn(rowA, rowB, sortEntry.id)

Thank you, guys! 🙏

That would be a great idea :)

I'd be happy to pick this up, if it were to be approved.

Currently we are using the following as a workaround:

const direction = a
    .getAllCells()
    .find((cell) => cell.column.id === id)
    ?.column.getIsSorted();
