Easiest way to enable sorting of a TableView

[tig]

I sorta assumed TableView had built-in support for clicking on a header and having the table sort. Then I looked at TableEditor and saw it isn't so easy.

If I want to use

jumpList.Table = new EnumerableTableSource<UnicodeRange> (UnicodeRange.Ranges, new Dictionary<string, Func<UnicodeRange, object>> () {
			{ "Category", (s) => s.Category },
			{ "Range", (s) => ($"(U+{s.Start:x5}-{s.End:x5})") },
		});

Is it possible/easy to enable changing which column the table is sorted by?

I have thought about this before and agree sorting support should be added. But it needs to be optional as sorting very large tables can break performance. I think a good approach would be to add SupportsSorting and Sort methods to ITableSource. Then TableView can handle the UI bits (clicks and sort indicators) Will have a look and implement a good solution.

In my case, after posting this I found it easier than expected.

I would like auto sort indicators on column headers and a way of asking sort direction (ascending/descending) so I don't have to track.
