** argument.  Each character of the second argument represent a column.
**
**       t      Sort by text
**       n      Sort numerically
**       k      Sort by the data-sortkey property
**       x      This column is not sortable
**
** Capital letters mean sort in reverse order.
** If there are fewer characters in zColumnTypes[] than their are columns,
** the all extra columns assume type "t" (text).
**
** The third parameter is the column that was initially sorted (using 1-based
** column numbers, like SQL).  Make this value 0 if none of the columns are
** initially sorted.  Make the value negative if the column is initially sorted
** in reverse order.
