            Description

            Currenty, it seems that the user has to click on the arrows in the column headers for sorting an ace:dataTable. However, our UI design guy and the users reported this to be unintuitive because it behaves different than the majority of tables out there in the internet.

            Could you please add a mode where it is possible to toggle sorting state by clicking anywhere on the header? Even though it is less efficient to force the user to potentially sort multiple times to get the order they are looking for, it is desirable for some UI scenarios.

              Could you please restore the functionality of the orginial Primefaces Datatable to toggle sorting state by clicking on the header? I think it's no problem to combine that with multi-sort.               		Currenty, it seems that the user has to click on the arrows in the column headers for sorting an ace:dataTable.
