Note GitHub couldn't provide a complete incremental comparison for this pull request, so CodeRabbit is performing a full review instead. This review may take a little longer. |
Header cells only receive their column, not the table instance, so they cannot replace the table's whole sort. Add a lightweight context that exposes the table to anything rendered inside DataTable, mirroring the existing ServerPaginationProvider pattern. DataTableHeader is rendered from roughly 200 column definitions across 46 files, so passing the table down as a prop is not practical; only one of those call sites currently pulls it out of the header render props.

Preserve fallback direction toggling.
When table is unavailable, handleSort passes false to column.toggleSorting, which forces ascending order instead of toggling an existing descending sort. The same value causes server pagination to report "asc". Use the fallback toggle result for both sorting and server pagination, and add an unwrapped-header test for descending input.

Clicking a header called column.toggleSorting(), which in tanstack's normal (non-multi) mode only replaces the sort when the clicked column is not the last entry of the current sort (existingIndex !== old.length - 1); otherwise it toggles that entry in place. The peers tables default to [connected, last_seen, name], so clicking Name only flipped its desc behind the dominant connected/last_seen sorts. The visible order never changed, however many times it was clicked, and only started responding once a different column had been clicked and collapsed the sort to a single entry. Use the table instance from context to setSorting() to a single column, forcing a replace regardless of the column's position. Falls back to the previous toggleSorting() when no provider is present. Take the direction from whether the column already leads the sort rather than from column.getIsSorted(). Name reports "asc" while it sits at the bottom of the default sort, so deriving the direction from it would open with a descending sort on a list the user reads as unsorted. This also collapses a second, duplicate direction computation that ran after the sort had already been applied.

@heisbrot — mind taking a look at this, or pointing me at whoever should? You've been in Two things would unblock it:
The bug: three column headers do nothing when clicked — Name on the peers tables, Metric on Routes, Domain on the Okta domain list — and they keep doing nothing however many times you click them. Each one is the last entry of its table's default multi-sort, and in that position
The new test asserts on the rendered row order and goes red on |
Describe your changes
Three column headers in the dashboard do nothing when you click them. Not on the first click, and not on any click after it — they stay dead until some other column in the same table is sorted, which is the only thing that brings them back to life.
To reproduce: open a Group → Peers and click the Name header. The list does not reorder, however many times you click it. Now click Address, then Name — and Name sorting works from then on.
Root cause
Those three tables are the only ones in the app whose default sort has more than one column:
MinimalPeersTable.tsx:105-118—[connected desc, last_seen desc,name asc]RouteTable.tsx:103-111—[network_id desc,metric desc]DomainVerificationTable.tsx:45-54—[is_current desc,name desc]In each case the dead header is the last entry. A header click calls
column.toggleSorting(), whose non-multi branch in@tanstack/table-core8.21.3 (RowSorting.ts) only replaces the sort when the clicked column is not the last entry of the current sort:nameis the last entry, so every clicktoggles it in place — flipping only itsdescbehind the dominantconnected/last_seensorts — and the visible order never changes. Clicking a different column does hit thereplacebranch, which collapses the sort to a single entry; from that pointnameis no longer last and starts behaving. That is why the bug looks intermittent, and why it is easy to miss when testing.Only the last entry of a default sort is affected — columns earlier in it, and every table with a single-column default sort, work fine. That is why the list is three headers rather than the whole app, and it is also why clicking around casually makes the bug disappear.
This is already a known sharp edge in this codebase:
PeersTable.tsx:180-195works around it for one column by reaching for theonSortescape hatch and callingtable.setSorting([{ id: "last_seen", desc: !desc }])by hand. This PR generalises that workaround to every header; the bespoke override can be retired separately.Changes
DataTableContext— exposes the tanstack table instance to anything rendered insideDataTable, mirroring the existingServerPaginationProviderpattern.DataTableHeaderis rendered from ~200 column definitions across 46 files, so threadingtablethrough as a prop is not realistic; only one of those call sites currently pulls it out of the header render props.useOptionalDataTable()returnsnullrather than throwing, and the header keeps acolumn.toggleSorting()fallback, so a header rendered outside aDataTabledegrades instead of crashing.DataTableHeader— a click now replaces the sort with the clicked column alone, regardless of its position.column.getIsSorted().namereports"asc"while it sits at the bottom of the default sort, so deriving direction from it would open with a descending sort on a list the user reads as unsorted. This also collapses a second, duplicate direction computation that previously ran after the sort had been applied, so the local sort and the server-sidesetSortcan no longer disagree.Header clicks never passed tanstack's
multiflag and there is no shift-click multi-sort UI anywhere in the app (noenableMultiSort,isMultiSortEventormaxMultiSortColCountin the tree), so forcing a single-column sort does not remove behaviour anyone can currently reach.Verification
src/components/table/DataTableHeader.test.tsxcovers four cases, including the reported bug asserted on the rendered row order, not just on sorting state. RevertingDataTableHeader.tsxtomainturns two of them red, with sorting stuck at[connected desc, last_seen desc, name desc]and the row order unchanged — the bug exactly as reported.Run locally on node 20, matching
