Boolean indicating whether *any* column sorting is allowed for
the grid. Default is ``False``.
See also :attr:`sort_on_backend`.
See also :attr:`sort_multiple` and :attr:`sort_on_backend`.
.. attribute:: sort_multiple
Boolean indicating whether "multi-column" sorting is allowed.
Default is ``True``; if this is ``False`` then only one column
may be sorted at a time.
Only relevant if :attr:`sortable` is true, but applies to both
frontend and backend sorting.
.. warning::
This feature is limited by frontend JS capabilities,
regardless of :attr:`sort_on_backend` value (i.e. for both
frontend and backend sorting).
In particular, if the app theme templates use Vue 2 + Buefy,
then multi-column sorting should work.
But not so with Vue 3 + Oruga, *yet* - see also the `open
issue <https://github.com/oruga-ui/oruga/issues/962>`_
regarding that. For now this flag is simply ignored for
Vue 3 + Oruga templates.
Additionally, even with Vue 2 + Buefy this flag can only
allow the user to *request* a multi-column sort. Whereas
the "default sort" in the Vue component can only ever be
single-column, regardless of :attr:`sort_defaults`.
.. attribute:: sort_on_backend

See also :meth:`set_sorter()`, :attr:`sort_defaults` and

.. attribute:: sort_defaults
List of options to be used for default sorting, until the user
requests a different sorting method.
This list usually contains either zero or one elements. Each
element is a :class:`SortInfo` tuple.
This list usually contains either zero or one elements. (More
are allowed if :attr:`sort_multiple` is true, but see note
below.) Each list element is a :class:`SortInfo` tuple and
must correspond to an entry in :attr:`sorters`.
Used with both frontend and backend sorting.
See also :meth:`set_sort_defaults()`.
See also :meth:`set_sort_defaults()` and
:attr:`active_sorters`.
.. note::
.. warning::
While the grid logic is meant to handle multi-column
sorting, that is not yet fully implemented.
While the grid logic is built to handle multi-column
sorting, this feature is limited by frontend JS
capabilities.
Therefore only the *first* element from this list is used
for the actual default sorting, regardless.
Even if ``sort_defaults`` contains multiple entries
(i.e. for multi-column sorting to be used "by default" for
the grid), only the *first* entry (i.e. single-column
sorting) will actually be used as the default for the Vue
component.
See also :attr:`sort_multiple` for more details.
.. attribute:: active_sorters
List of sorters currently in effect for the grid; used by
:meth:`sort_data()`.
Whereas :attr:`sorters` defines all "available" sorters, and
:attr:`sort_defaults` defines the "default" sorters,
``active_sorters`` defines the "current/effective" sorters.
This attribute is set by :meth:`load_settings()`; until that is
called it will not exist.
This is conceptually a "subset" of :attr:`sorters` although a
different format is used here::
grid.active_sorters = [
{'key': 'name', 'dir': 'asc'},
{'key': 'id', 'dir': 'asc'},
]
The above is for example only; there is usually no reason to
set this attribute directly.
This list may contain multiple elements only if
:attr:`sort_multiple` is true. Otherewise it should always
have either zero or one element.
