In the TreeTable, there are List Options for setting the sort column. Also, clicking on a column header sets that column as the "sorting column". But from this point on, it's impossible to turn off sorting again. In my case, the original ("unsorted") node order is important; it's the order items were created. After sorting by some other columns (such as the "priority" column) you may want to go back to the original order, but currently you can't. Sorting by column 0 isn't the same as unsorted. I suggest you add "Do Not Sort" as an item in the "Sort By" pullright menu. I consider this a usability bug so have marked it a defect rather than a request for an enhancement.
