Custom Business Configuration Sorting the Table using Non-KeyFields

[JitYang96]

Hi Experts,

I am currently using the Custom Business Configuration and have generated some entities. I am currently having issue sorting the table, I have tried using annotations like the one below in the Metadata Extension.

Seems like even with this, it is getting ignored and still sorts by key fields.

Scenario:

Operation - Keyfield	Counter - Keyfield	Country - Non-Keyfield
Flight	1	V
Flight	2	A
Flight	3	D

I want to be able to sort the table by default when opening the application by country which is not a key field and ignore the keyfields with the expected output:

Operation - Keyfield	Counter - Keyfield	Country - Non - Keyfield
Flight	2	A
Flight	3	D
Flight	1	V

In this case, the keyfields was set to hidden for user and will only see the country column, so users would want it to be sorted.

Does anyone have any work around on this?
