Description

When user clicks on a sortable column that is NOT currently sorted, the sort order is always ascending. My project needs to have different default sort order per column.

Activity

Ascending order - Click to sort in descending order

You should be able to use the "defaultorder" attribute to accomplish this.

The defaultorder can only be specified on the table tag, not on the column tag.
If you specify it now (on the table) it only seems to affect the original sorting that you might have defined with defaultsort.
I agree with the original reporter that you should be able to specify defaultorder per column.

It would be great if it would work like this:
    <display:table name="command" defaultorder="ascending">
        <display:column property="feature" title="Feature" />
        <display:column property="popularity" title="Popularity" defaultorder="descending" />
    </display:table>

Clicking on name would sort it by name in ascending order (table defaultorder since it was not specified in column).
Clicking on name again would sort it by name in descending order.

Clicking on votes would sort it by votes in descending order (column defaultorder).
Clicking on votes again would sort it by votes in ascending order.

Here is the diff that was sent to me. I can commit it once proper unit tests are contributed with it. We'd like to keep high test coverage for this project.

This feature would be very useful to us too. Currently our users have to click twice on the same columns to get the desired sort order. For example it would be very useful to have the column "Product Cost" sort by default in descending order and the column "Product Name" sort by default in ascending order.
