Title: 2.x - Allow user to specify default sort direction for a column

Allow user to specify default sortDirection for a column inside the column definitions object.

the columnDefinitions object can now have a sortDirection property with ASC/DESC values that will control the default sorting direction of the column when sorted for the first time.

This change is in production in the company where I work, and has been tested with Selenium.
