ModifierKey

Specifies the modifier key for sorting by 2nd or more columns.

By default, clicking a column adds it to the sort order (corresponds to 'none'). Selecting a key modifier along with the click will remove sorting from all other columns.

If the key is set to 'ctrl', 'shift' or 'alt', clicking a column will remove sorting from all other columns. The specified key must be pressed to add the column to the sort order instead. The ctrl value corresponds to the Command key in a macOS environment. See example.

showIndexes?

boolean

Enables the sort-sequence indicators for sorting multiple columns.
