 ## Multi-Sort
 When clicking on a column header, hold shift to multi-sort! You can toggle `ascending` `descending` and `none` for multi-sort columns. Clicking on a header without holding shift will clear the multi-sort and replace it with the single sort of that column. It's quite handy!
 
+You can set the `multiSort` prop to `false` to disable this feature (which may be useful for server-side sorting when you are not
+going to sort multiple columns).
+
 ## Custom Sorting Algorithm
 To override the default sorting algorithm for the whole table use the `defaultSortMethod` prop.
