[data grid] onSortModelChange now gets passed sorts with a direction of null.

[mbiggs-gresham]

Steps to reproduce

No response

Current behavior

In v6 of the datagrid when a sort is removed, the sort model passed to the onSortModelChange would also have the entire sort entry removed for that field.

In v7 (beta 4) of the datagrid when a sort is removed, the sort model contains an entry for that field with a sort direction of null. This means the sortmodel will just continue to grow. Is this intended as it appears to be a breaking change?

Expected behavior

The sort model should have the entry removed when a sort is removed.

@MBilalShafi I cannot find the respective PR commit that introduced this. Could you have a look?

@mbiggs-gresham Thanks for reporting the issue.

Yes, this is an update in v7 (v6 vs v7 examples), it was introduced in #11512 while fixing a bug with the API.

I think we do need to clean up the sortModel for direction: null use-cases to avoid unnecessary items in the sortModel.
