What happened?

Sorting (descending) strings is slow to render.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use reactable_extras_ui() and reactable_extras_server() to render a large data (> 500K rows) with a character column.
  2. Sort the character column ascending. This should be instant.
  3. Sort the character column descending. The reactable is slow to respond.
  4. Remove sorting on the character column. The reactable is slow to respond.

Expected behavior

Sorting a character column should be almost instant or at least consistent with the initial sorting speed.

The sorting logic uses dplyr::arrange with dplyr::desc and the issue might be on the use of these two functions.
