| 1 | +By default, `Table` assumes the sortable rows can be sorted in ascending or descending order. |
| 2 | +Clicking a column header the first time will trigger the `sort` callback with a suggested ordering of _ascending_. |
| 3 | +Clicking it a second time will call `sort` with a suggested ordering of _descending_. |
| 4 | +Clicking a third time will suggest _ascending_. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +This is often desirable but it has a subtle side effect: |
| 7 | +Once you have sorted a `Table` there is no way to return to an unsorted, "natural" order. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +Fortunately `Table` makes it easy for you to implement this functionality within your application code like so: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +```jsx |
| 12 | +export default class NaturalSortTable extends Component { |
| 13 | + constructor (props, context) { |
| 14 | + super(props, context) |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | + this.state = { |
| 17 | + list: props.list // Naturally sorted list |
| 18 | + } |
| 19 | + } |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + componentWillUpdate (nextProps, nextState) { |
| 22 | + const { |
| 23 | + sortBy: prevSortBy, |
| 24 | + sortDirection: prevSortDirection |
| 25 | + } = this.state |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | + if ( |
| 28 | + nextState.sortBy !== prevSortBy || |
| 29 | + nextState.sortDirection !== prevSortDirection |
| 30 | + ) { |
| 31 | + const { sortBy, sortDirection } = nextState |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + let { list } = this.props |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + if (sortBy) { |
| 36 | + list = list.sortBy(item => item[sortBy]) |
| 37 | + if (sortDirection === SortDirection.DESC) { |
| 38 | + list = list.reverse() |
| 39 | + } |
| 40 | + } |
| 41 | + } |
| 42 | + } |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + render () { |
| 45 | + const { list, sortBy, sortDirection } = this.state |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + return ( |
| 48 | + <Table |
| 49 | + {...this.props} |
| 50 | + sort={this._sort} |
| 51 | + sortBy={sortBy} |
| 52 | + sortDirection={sortDirection} |
| 53 | + > |
| 54 | + {/* <Column>s go here */} |
| 55 | + </Table> |
| 56 | + ) |
| 57 | + } |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + _sort ({ sortBy, sortDirection }) { |
| 60 | + const { |
| 61 | + sortBy: prevSortBy, |
| 62 | + sortDirection: prevSortDirection |
| 63 | + } = this.state |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | + // If list was sorted DESC by this column. |
| 66 | + // Rather than switch to ASC, return to "natural" order. |
| 67 | + if (prevSortDirection === SortDirection.DESC) { |
| 68 | + sortBy = null |
| 69 | + sortDirection = null |
| 70 | + } |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | + this.setState({ sortBy, sortDirection }) |
| 73 | + } |
| 74 | +} |
| 75 | +``` |
