DataTables Multiselect Broken With Column Sorting

[nikcich]

Describe the bug

DataTable multi-select using shift+click is broken when sorting by a column. I sort by column B then click on element 0, shift_click down to element 5 and it doesn't select elements 0-5 it selects what I believe to be elements 0-5 of the DEFAULT sorting order, which to the end user looks almost like its randomly selecting elements.

Hi, here the same behavior, exist a workaround to bypass the bug?

@mar-cro

Ive been having this problem too, its a big sticking point in the product im working on. What I did was create a button to put the user into 'selection mode', then disable the reset and disable all sorting on the table while the user can select things. (use a forward ref for resting sorting and remove 'sortable' from column) It doesn't look like this ticket is being worked on any time soon, so this workaround will have to do.

This was attempted to be fixed in 10.9.1 with this ticket: #7468 but getting reports it is still not working.
