Capture sort order on Table Component

I am now seeing some issues with the approach.  If a record exists with a SOQL ORDER loaded it seems to work great.  I am noticing if there isn’t a record and I sort the table I get results like:

Name ASC NULLS LAST, Date ASC NULLS LAST,{{$Model.MySortOrdersModel.data.0.Sort_Order__c}}

or I get:

Name ASC NULLS LAST, undefined

I am looking at what I changes need to be made to resolve this.  Any thoughts?

Thanks!
