Sort DataTable programmatically?

[ssuess]

In the DataTable component, does anyone know of a way to trigger a column sort programmatically, (as if the user had clicked on a particular column header?)

Instead of bothering to trigger a sort, I am just rearranging the array upon which the table is based, works just as well for my needs. In case this helps someone else:

methods: {
    sortedArray (items) {
      return this.items.sort((a, b) => b.date - a.date)
    },
