Client side Sorting with server side Pagination in Quasar - vue.js

Question

I have a table displaying search results with server side Pagination but when I click the columns, there is no sorting taking place and the server displays the results again for any of the column arrow clicks. Is there any way I can limit the pagination to take place only for the page arrows in the footer and then sorting to take place for the displayed results when i click the columns?
<q-table
dense
:title="Patient result"
:data="searchResultList"
:columns="columns"
:pagination="serverPagination"
row-key="name"
:no-data-label="noDataMessage"
:loading="loading"
#request="request"
>
data() {
return {
filter: '',
columns: [
{
name: 'patientId',
required: true,
label: 'patientId',
align: 'left',
field: row => row.patientId,
format: val => `${val}`,
sortable: true,
}
{
name: 'lastname', align: 'center', label: 'lastname', field: 'lastname', sortable: true,
},
{
name: 'firstname', align: 'center', label: 'firstname', field: 'firstname', sortable: true,
},
{
name: 'dob', align: 'center', label: 'dob', field: 'dob', sortable: true,
},
],
page: 1,
rowsInPage: 25,
};
computed: {
serverPagination() {
return {
sortBy: this.paginationObject.sortBy,
descending: this.paginationObject.descending,
page: this.paginationObject.page,
rowsNumber: this.patientSearchResults.count,
rowsPerPage: this.paginationObject.rowsPerPage,
};
paginationObject: {
sortBy: 'name',
descending: false,
page: 1,
rowsPerPage: 25,
methods: {
request(props) {
this.$store.dispatch('patientSearch/setPaginationObject', props);
},

Use sort-method. You can write a custom function where you can pass the rows(Not all but according to pagination i.e. if the selected page is 1 the rows will be 0-5 from your array. Here I'm guessing the default visible rows will be 5.)
Check out this API reference - https://quasar.dev/vue-components/table
In QTable API, you will find the details about this method.
