Description

Hi, first of all thanks for putting this project together! My question is: can I make a column which will always be the primary sort column and is unchangeable and all the other columns are secondary but can change sort order. So for example I have a column with the data: is_active. I want to have the active rows at the top always but I want to be able to sort the active contracts by name or some other value. I know this explanation is all around the place, please let me know if I need to clarify it more.

Thanks!

Research direction
The issue requests a feature for a default primary sort column that is unchangeable while other columns can be toggled. Look at the existing sorting implementation in src/BootstrapTable.js or related components. The fix would involve modifying the sort state to always include the primary column with a fixed order. Consult maintainers for API design preferences.
