Table: Sorting is not restored when using stateful table and presort

[aberonni]

Describe the bug

When using the p-table component:

• With a default presort with sortField and/or sortOrder
• And a [stateful table] by defining stateKey

The table does not maintain custom sorting upon page reload.

Environment

Irrelevant (reproducible consistently on stackblitz)

No response

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Define a default presort with sortField and/or sortOrder
2. Define a [stateful table] by defining stateKey
3. Upon page load, change the sort field order by clicking on a different column header than the default one
4. Reload the page

Expected behavior

The new sort field / order defined in step 3. should be maintained upon page reload. Instead, the default presort is always applied upon page reload.
