dtsmartr supports modern, spreadsheet-like multi-column
sorting natively by interacting with column headers.
Clicking directly anywhere on a column header card triggers sorting:
- First Click: Sorts the column ascending
(↑). - Second Click: Sorts the column
descending (↓). - Third Click: Clears the
sort state for that column.
To sort by multiple columns sequentially (e.g., sort by
cyl first, then by mpg within each cylinder
class): - Click the first column header (e.g., cyl) to set
the primary sort. - Hold Shift and click
the second column header (e.g., mpg) to append it to the
sort chain. - The UI displays numbered emoji badges (e.g.,
1️⃣ ↑, 2️⃣ ↓) next to the column names to show
the sorting priority and direction. - The active sort chain is also
printed in the grid’s top toolbar (e.g.,
↕ cyl asc (1) -> mpg desc (2)).
Shift + Click the sorted column header until its sort
direction indicator disappears.
