This is a known behaviour of the current table component - if you set a default sort, it overrides the table sorts. Similarly, I believe if you create any sorts with the “sort” button, it also overrides the table sorts. This has to do with the way loadData presently behaves, where once a value is in the props, it can’t be removed - so even if it looks like the code is eliminating the defaultSort value, it’ll still show up in the props.
