Sorting help

[SamSimmons]

Hey, I'm having some trouble implementing custom sorting. Say I have a component

const BigTable = (props) => {
  let { data } = props
  return (
    <ReactTable
      data={data}
      columns={columns}
    />
  )
}

If I had an age column, that was a string, and I wanted to use a function like (a, b) => parseInt(a) - parseInt(b) to sort the data. From the docs I've been trying to set the table to manual use onSortingChange, but I can't figure out how to use it properly. Any chance you could point me in the right direction?

If you want to fully control the sorting algorithm, you will need to treat the table as a server side setup. See https://react-table.js.org/?selectedKind=2.%20Demos&selectedStory=Server-side%20Data&full=0&down=0&left=1&panelRight=0&downPanel=kadirahq%2Fstorybook-addon-actions%2Factions-panel I may possibly make the sorting customizable more easily

Any update regarding customizing the search? I have a getter that shows some date as a formatted string, but I want the sorting to be done by the actual date value..
