Possibility for non-boolean sorting values

[bencergazda]

Most often we are doing server-side sorting (manualSorting: true), with managing the sorting state in the table with column.toggleSorting(). However, we have more complex sorting scenarios, that can't be described with a desc: true/false value (which is only available currently in the ColumnSort interface).

For now we are using a workaround, instead of calling toggleSorting() with a boolean value, we call it with a string, that describes the sorting strategy for the API. This works because toggleSorting can save "anything" to the state, but is quite ugly and also causes a lot of TS errors that we need to handle.

Do you think it would be possible to have a similar approach here as for the column filters, where any arbitrary data can be stored in the columnFilters state, in order to avoid the many TS workarounds?
