Sorting indicator moves incorrectly when adding a column

[aninde]

Description

Sorting indicator (arrow) moves incorrectly to the left when adding a column to the left.
The error does not occur when adding the right column.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open demo https://jsfiddle.net/aninde/gLzt0c2x/
2. Sort second column.
3. Insert to the left of sorted column

Actual result

Sorting indicator (arrow) moves to the new added header and no longer exist on previous sorted column.

Expected result

Sorting indicator should not move. It should stay where it is used, like when adding column on the right site.

Demo

v. 7.2.2 https://jsfiddle.net/aninde/gLzt0c2x/

Your environment

• Handsontable version: at least 6+, before, sorting was without an indicator. Can't be checked.
• Browser Name and version: any
• Operating System: any

multiColumnSorting has the same bug.
Moreover, you can reproduce this issue by removing columns.

@aninde Please re-check this issue with v8.0.0-beta

it works the same on my Catalina while applying 8.0.0's beta https://jsfiddle.net/tybrnL50/

[aninde]

@AMBudnik is right. Sadly this bug occurs also in v8.0.0-beta. It is possible to call it by removing the sorted column, like @swistach wrote.

multiColumnSorting / Firefox 71 / Catalina 10.15

Remains the same in 8.0.0-beta2-rev14 https://jsfiddle.net/AMBudnik/Lxbrpt53/

Related to the fact that a newly created row's index replaces the previous physical index. A physical index isn't really a unique value. However, we were saving some states for particular columns/rows threatening physical index as an ID.

Demo updated to v8.0.0 https://jsfiddle.net/gb126Lre/ (works the same)

[aninde]

This issue will be fixed by the version upcoming v8.2.0 on all supported browsers except Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10.

Demo https://jsfiddle.net/aninde/09edasc2/

On IE, the newly added column on the left has an additional invalid indicator. When you add a column to the right of a sorted column, the indicator is not added. Sorting pointer renders the same regardless of the Handsontable version

order of gifs:

1. v8.2.0 - extra indicator without order number and proper indicator at the column B
2. v8.0.0 - indicator is moved to the left, order numbers stays
3. v7.4.2 - indicator is moved to the left, order numbers stays

Today's version of 8.2.0 works beautifully on IE 11/ Windows 10 and other supported browsers. @jansiegel well done!

This issue will be fixed by the upcoming v8.2.0.
