defaultSortOrder on ?

I've got several situations where I need a table needs to be sortable by 
a given column in descending order first--that is, the "natural" outcome 
of a user clicking on a column heading would be to sort descending.  
(Image a table of customers with columns for Revenue, Growth Rate, # of 
Orders, etc.)  Currently, unless I'm missing something, <af:table> will 
always sort ascending on a user's first click.  Would it make sense to 
add an attribute to the column tag allowing a developer to override this 
default?

Thanks,
Rogers

Rogers,

Could you file a JIRA issue to add defaultSortOrder to af:table?

Thanks,
Adam

Thanks for the link, Matthias.  Yeah, the only thing stopping me from 
using the Tomahawk datatable is the lack of PPR- as soon as I can stick 
a partialTriggers="xxx" attribute on it, I'm there.  :-)       If (the 
lack of) defaultSortOrder seems like a big enough problem for the ADF 
datatable, though, I may look into nesting the Tomahawk datatable inside 
an <af:panelGroup> to get my PPR ...
