    Want to sort in desc order on table load. here
   is code
 * [fileaway base=”1″ type=”table” paginate=”yes” pagesize=”30″ mod=”no” customdata
   =”date*” sortfirst=”date-desc”]
 * Still sorts on filename asc order default.

 * If you have one custom column:
 * [fileaway type=”table” mod=”no” paginate=”yes” pagesize=”30″ customdata=”Date”
   sortfirst=”custom-desc”]
 * If you have more than one custom column, use an asterisk to specify which of 
   them to sort by, like so:
 * [fileaway type=”table” mod=”no” paginate=”yes” pagesize=”30″ customdata=”Date*,
   Notes” sortfirst=”custom-desc”]
