Description

New Feature / Enhancement Checklist
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.
