sort table by column, without clicking column name

Hi all, 

 

I have a table with some logs and their appearance counts. I also have some slicer that affects this table. How can I have it so that the default state of this table is sorted in Descending order of this 'count' column. 

 

I know I can click the column name with the little triangle. But can it be done without this extra step?

 

Solutions I find online use this 'column tools' tab on the main ribbon, but I don't have this tab.

 

 

Workarounds are also fine.

 

Thanks

How hard is it to click on the column name?  Any other option will create more work for the user.

Actually found out how to do so, but Kudos to you for that extremely unhelpful answer 😃
