Sorting may occur at a number of levels in an AppBoard system, most of which are controlled by the administrator when configuring data sources, data collections, and the widgets. In the case of the Table widget however the user can override the default sorting which is desirable, but in some cases the administrator may want to "reset" this back to the default sorting based on some action taking place.

A simple use case is where the default sorting is configured on one or more columns not visible to the end user in the table widget. Perhaps this table widget is updated when making a selection in some other widget in which case the administrator may want to reset the table widget back to it's default sort.

The default sort means:

1. if the table widget was configured to have certain columns sorted (as part of the widget configuration), it will revert to this.
2. if the table widget was not configured to sort any columns, then the sort order as returned by the Data Collection is used.
