Programmatically change current page

[josueuitzil]

Hi team, I have a question regarding the page prop of the table. If I pass this prop to the component and then update its value, then only the pagination will get updated. You can test it in the following sandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/material-table-starter-template-forked-n8epbv?file=/src/index.js

From the name of the prop I initially thought that it could be used to programmatically change the current page of the table, however, I couldn't find documentation on this prop so I'm not sure if this is expected behavior or a bug.

Is there any other way that the current page could be changed from outside the table? I think that passing a ref to the table and then using it to directly call the dataManager methods could work but seems a little hacky.

@oze4 Reviewing to the code, seems like material-table/core, detects that if is passed page and totalCount, implementation will handle the paging in their side.

Could it be better to implement a new property to do this foreign paging? like foreignPaging, instead of relay on this two props page, totalCount.

actually which could be the point of doing paging, when using local data ? currently if you do paging outside the material-table/core package, and do sort at same time, this got impacted do to the data refresh.
