Describe the missing feature

I'm migrating an app from BV to BVN and noticed that the fields using the sortDirection prop are not sorted according to it on first click of the column.

BVN's BTable docs mention the property under the "Field Definition Reference" section tagged not implemented (link), and also make use of it in the "Complete Example" section--where it does not work (expected).

However, the migration guide's section on BTable's Field Definitions (link) says that the sortDirection prop is deprecated:

sortKey and sortDirection are deprecated, use the table's sortBy model as documented here instead.

This does not make sense. What sortDirection was used for cannot be achieved with sortBy which maintains the initial/current sorting state of the table.

I would like a confirmation from the maintainers that it's a mistake in the migration guide before attempting an implementation of sortDirection.
