Description

Hi,

I would like to be able to do this:

  1. First click on column: sort ascendingly
  2. Second click on column: sort descendingly
  3. Third click on column: remove the sorting

Is there a way to hook the actual sorting behavior, i.e. write my own function in my code without touching the source code?

Research direction
Review the sorting implementation in the main table component, likely in `src/BootstrapTable.js`. Check the existing comments on the issue for previous suggestions. The desired behavior is to cycle through ascending, descending, and no sort on each click. Investigate how the current sorting is triggered and consider adding a new prop or configuration to allow custom sorting handlers.
