 Allow users to sort the table by setting the `sortable` input. Specify the starting order by setting `sortField` to a column name and `sortDirection` to `ascending` or `descending`.
 
+By default, all fields are sortable. If you'd like to limit the columns where sorting is allowed, provide a list to the `sortableFields` option.

 <Table
