Description

Is it possible to enable table rerender when defaultSorted is changed? This would allow external components to control table sorting.

Thanks.

Research direction
Investigate how the `defaultSorted` prop is handled in the table component's sorting logic. The goal is to trigger a re sort when `defaultSorted` changes, enabling external control. Look at the component's lifecycle methods or hooks to add a watcher. Check existing tests and examples for patterns. Consider using `componentDidUpdate` or `useEffect` to compare previous and new `defaultSorted` and call the sort function accordingly.
