Description
New Feature / Enhancement Checklist
- I am not disclosing a vulnerability.
- I am not just asking a question.
- I have searched through existing issues.
Current Limitation
It's not possible to disable sorting in the data browser UI.
Feature / Enhancement Description
Add an option in the dashboard UI (not dashboard config) to disable sorting. For example, when clicking on a column to sort, the sorting could change in the following order:
- sort ascending
- sort descending
- do not sort
Example Use Case
Sometimes it's not necessary to sort data, especially for ad-hoc queries. For ad-hoc queries, mandatory sorting add an unnecessary complexity for unindexed queries.
Alternatives / Workarounds
None in dashboard, only manual data query.

Research direction
Start in the dashboard's data browser UI and trace the behavior triggered when a column is clicked for sorting. The work is complete when the UI provides a way to disable sorting and the requested ascending, descending, and unsorted behavior works for ad-hoc queries.
