Default initial sort direction for column

[codecatalysts]

Is there a way to set the initial direction a column is sorted when clicked? Currently when a column is clicked to be sorted it is sorted in ascending order by default but I would rather it be sorted by descending for select/specified columns.

There is no declarative option for it.

Sorting direction or whole sorter can be programmatically customized by modifying ui.sorter parameter and comparing it with ui.oldSorter parameter in the beforeSort event.
