How to dynamically change the MudTable's SortLabel and SortDirection in MudBlazor?

The Problem:

I created a table using MudBlazor’s MudTable, which retrieves data from the database through the ServerData property and supports sorting, searching, and filtering functionalities. My question is, is there a way to manually change the SortLabel and SortDirection of the MudTable, other than clicking on the Column Header? When I execute MudTable.ReloadServerData(), the SortLabel and SortDirection of the table are not reset, but I need them to reset when the table reloads data from the database.

The Solutions:

Solution 1: Reset SortLabel and SortDirection using `InitializeSorting()`

To reset `SortLabel` and `SortDirection` in `MudTable`, follow these steps:

Set InitialDirection for MudTableSortLabel:

&lt;MudTh&gt;&lt;MudTableSortLabel InitialDirection=&quot;SortDirection.Ascending&quot; SortLabel=&quot;property_no_field&quot; T=&quot;Item&quot;&gt;Serial Number&lt;/MudTableSortLabel&gt;&lt;/MudTh&gt;

In the Refresh method, call InitializeSorting() to reset to the InitialDirection:

private void Refresh()
{
    // need to reset SortLabel and SortDirection here
    itemTable.TableContext.InitializeSorting();

    itemTable.ReloadServerData();
}
