Description

Hi @AllenFang, I think having a state saving feature that saves table's current page, sort column and sort direction would be a great feature for react-bootstrap-table2.

Example

It makes use of localStorage or sessionStorage for it. If these are not supported, browser cookies can be used in worst case.

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Research direction
Examine the current codebase in the src/ directory to identify where table state (current page, sort column, direction) is managed. Look for any existing callback hooks for state changes. Implement a method to serialize and save the state to localStorage on each change, and restore on mount with a prop like 'persistState'. Check issue comments for additional ideas on configuration options like storage key, expiration, etc. Files to consider: src/store.js, src/pagination.js, src/sort.js.
