is there any plan to support sorting on calculated fields?

[dipakyadav]

i.e,

1. if user collection contains two field amt1 and amt2
2. using columns: [{title: "toatalamt", data: 'total()'}], totalamt field doesn't exists in user collection.
3. and meter helper as below.

User.helpers({
  total: function () {
    return this.amt1 +  this.amt2;
  }
});

The sort icon doesn't appears on totalamt column

I doubt it at this point. The only thing meteor-tabular seems to be able to sort (and search) is native data fields on the document.

So denormalizing this value to your actual document is one work-around.

Anybody have any workarounds for this? Was thinking of way to override the orderable events and then pass in a sort option to the pub
