Column header sorting: consecutive clicks no longer registered (regression), and first click should sort DESC like on macOS #813

Description

@lmalma

Version: 26.9.8, Windows 11 Pro build 26200. Two problems with sorting by clicking a column header.

1. Regression: consecutive clicks on the header are no longer registered

Before the new DataGrid: clicking a column header twice in a row went straight to the second sort direction. The intermediate sort was not waited for — the second click was picked up immediately and the grid sorted to the final direction in one go.

Now: the second click is not registered while the first sort is still running. I have to wait for the sort to finish and only then click again. On SSH connections the sort takes noticeably longer, so this wait is very much felt — reversing the sort direction went from one quick double click to click, wait, click.

Please restore the old behaviour: a second click on the header should be accepted immediately and applied, without waiting for the first sort to complete.

2. The first click should sort DESC, as it does on macOS

On macOS, the first click on a column header sorts DESC (newest / highest first) and a second click sorts ASC. That is the useful default — the first thing you usually want to see is the most recent rows.

On Windows, the first click sorts ASC and only a second click gives DESC. So every time I want the newest rows I have to click twice — which is exactly the double click that problem 1 above made slow.

Please make Windows match macOS: first click DESC, second click ASC.
