Description

after editing a cell and tab key is pressed navigating to next cell, but at the same time that column is sorted (I need that column sorting enabled, please don't advice to make enableSorting: false), so that next cell getting on the wrong row. It navigates to the correct row if tab is pressed again!

please help me to disable that cellnav if column edited and sorted or any way to move to correct row cell?

thanks

Research direction
Investigate the cell navigation logic in ui grid, particularly how tab key handling interacts with column sorting. Check files like 'src/features/cellnav/js/cellNav.js' and 'src/features/sort/js/sort.js' for timing issues. Look for existing PRs or comments about this behavior. The issue suggests sorting triggers after cell edit and moves focus; consider adding a flag to delay sorting until after navigation completes.
