Description
I would like to discuss a new feature to keep the table with the same sorting data on screen after the user has changed the visible row information.
As it is, if you sort the column "numbers" as ASC:
| numbers |
|---|
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 6 |
| 10 |
and then change the value "2" to "8", for example, the table will refresh like this:
| numbers |
|---|
| 1 |
| 6 |
| 8 |
| 10 |
But, what I want is to keep it like it were with the new value:
| numbers |
|---|
| 1 |
| 8 |
| 6 |
| 10 |
A possible solution would be to implement a new parameter into the table to store the changed rows and a new function in getSortedRowModel where, before you return the sortedData, you would get these rows and place them in their original position.
The user would need to provide the table with the changed rows in order to use the feature, otherwise it would behave as usual.

Research direction
Start by reading the getSortedRowModel entry point mentioned in the issue and trace how edited rows could be identified and positioned. Define the table parameter and sorting behavior for changed rows, while preserving current behavior when no changed rows are supplied; done means the example keeps the edited row in its original position and unchanged rows retain normal sorting.
