Description

Summary:

When hidden, it is best not to change the sorting of the current column,

How important this is to me and why:

Medium

Use cases: 1.The ordering of properties is meaningful and loses its meaning when changed

2.And I think it's useless of hidden columns. The display space on a page is valuable and should be used to show more important content

Additional context / similar features: Any examples of good implementations of this capability. GIF

Research direction
Look into the column sorting mechanism in Focalboard's codebase, likely in the board view components. Investigate how column visibility is toggled and how sorting is applied. The issue suggests preserving the current sort order when hiding a column, which may require modifying the sort state to ignore hidden columns. Check linked PRs or existing comments for any implemented solutions.
