I'm using the node-red-node-ui-table node to display several columns of numeric data.  
The default behaviour is to give the option of changing the sort order of the table by clicking the little triangles next to the column headings.  
Is there any way of disabling this function?

If you look at the examples in editor, import \> examples \> ui-table. You will see how to add column definitions. You can try adding to the tabulator object.

```auto
 headerSort:false

```
