suggestion - some of my columns naturally benefit from DESC sorting. but the first click on the column header always does an ASC sort so my users are required to click twice to get the desired DESC sort.

Was thinking this was a pretty common scenario - and a solution would be to simply add a fieldOption to specify which sort direction to use on the initial click. one name that would work is sortingInitialDir which can be ASC or DESC.

Thanks for considering this.
