No API options for this (True to sep 22).
https://listjs.com/docs/search-sort/

For now you can use plain js. and [data-sort] selector.

document.querySelectorAll('[data-sort]');

Step forward - when the sort is active data-order is asc or asc:

document.querySelectorAll('[data-sort="asc"]');

So with this idea use click events and show to the user extra data (Like "the Active sort buttons"). -or- use sortStart/sortComplete events.

Hard to answer more because the Q is general.

Have not found a good way. One of the issues we are having is when re-indexing the data, it loses the previous sort and reverts to the default sort.
