I have a bootstrap-vue table that looks like this;

Here's the code;

<template>
  <div>
    <b-table striped hover :items="items" :fields="fields"></b-table>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        // Note 'isActive' is left out and will not appear in the rendered table
        fields: [
          {
            key: 'last_name',
            sortable: true
          },
          {
            key: 'first_name',
            sortable: false
          },
          {
            key: 'age',
            label: 'Person age',
            sortable: true,
            // Variant applies to the whole column, including the header and footer
            variant: 'danger'
          }
        ],
        items: [
          { isActive: true, age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald' },
          { isActive: false, age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
          { isActive: false, age: 89, first_name: 'Geneva', last_name: 'Wilson' },
          { isActive: true, age: 38, first_name: 'Jami', last_name: 'Carney' }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
</script>

When this table is initially loaded up, I want to specify that the table is sorted according to Person age column in descending order.

I am using bootstrap-vue and Vue v2.6

CodePudding user response：

You can use these two attributes in <b-table> :

sort-by="age" :sort-desc="true"

Demo :

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data: {
    fields: [
      {
        key: 'last_name',
        sortable: true
      },
      {
        key: 'first_name',
        sortable: false
      },
      {
        key: 'age',
        label: 'Person age',
        sortable: true,
        // Variant applies to the whole column, including the header and footer
        variant: 'danger'
      }
    ],
    items: [
      { isActive: true, age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald' },
      { isActive: false, age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
      { isActive: false, age: 89, first_name: 'Geneva', last_name: 'Wilson' },
      { isActive: true, age: 38, first_name: 'Jami', last_name: 'Carney' }
    ]
  }
})

---- OR ------

You can bind these attributes dynamically from data property as well with the .sync option.

<v-data-table
      :sort-by.sync="sortBy"
      :sort-desc.sync="sortDesc"
></v-data-table>

data () {
   return {
     sortBy: 'age',
     sortDesc: true,
  }
}
