[Dojo-interest] FilteringTable sort

[ibsscott]

I finally figured out you need to set maxSortable=[number of columns you set
with sort="asc"].  That seems to fix most of the problem.   I would still
like to be able to sort via the key or field values that are not displayed. 
I saw there is an attribute called sortusing=function().  Can I use this
somehow to do what I want?
