Since the view auto update feature was added to dataview, sortable no longer keeps the table sorted. It gets refreshed along with the view.

Since obsidian-sortable sorting is generally working for tables generated with obsidian-dataview, and it seems (from the discussion on the other repo) that there is not going to be any merger or dependency, should this issue be closed?

I say "generally" because I have noticed some tiny issues:

• there is no indicator visible to show the table's non-dynamic sort when the page is opened
• cycling through column sorting states takes you through ascending, descending, and whatever datatables initial sort state was

I understand that these tiny issues are basically inevitable unless obsidian-sortable specifically reads the dataview query to determine the starting sort state. If you're willing to do that extra work—that's awesome. If not, then I think this can be closed.

Either way, thanks for providing this! 🍻

Can you please provide a specific example of this?

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but this is intentional behaviour -- it's how tables on Wikipedia are sorted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Sortable_tables#Example

The big disclaimer is that I am not a Dataview user myself, so I am not actually familiar with its specifics.
