I did not suggest direct assignment because I was not sure the headers control would not get confused.

SelectHeaderByKey calls the same handler that's called when you click a header. If you click the same header again, it alternates between ascending/descending order.

-- setup sortHeaderGroup to order by name, without telling the owner (suppress callbacks)
self.sortHeaderGroup:SelectHeaderByKey("name", ZO_SortHeaderGroup.SUPPRESS_CALLBACKS)
-- switch to descending order and tell the owner
self.sortHeaderGroup:SelectHeaderByKey("name")
