Custom column sort values for EuiInMemoryTable

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -3,6 +3,7 @@
 - `EuiComboBox` is now decorated with `data-test-subj` selectors for the search input (`comboxBoxSearchInput`), toggle button (`comboBoxToggleListButton`), and clear button (`comboBoxClearButton`) ([#918](https://github.com/elastic/eui/pull/918))
 - `EuiComboBox` now gives focus to the search input when the user clicks the clear button, to prevent focus from defaulting to the body ([#918](https://github.com/elastic/eui/pull/918))
 - Fixed visual size of inputs by setting the box-shadow border to `inset` ([#928](https://github.com/elastic/eui/pull/928))
+- Per-column custom sort values added to `EuiInMemoryTable` ([#929](https://github.com/elastic/eui/pull/929))
