OK, now it's 6 sec. but I was do this first time ever. So, this will not
happen very often.

No, it's not necessary, and would be better to not display it, but
it will be a little bit inconsistent. User is able to change sorting
by clicking on column header. It's not possible with not-existent column ;)
We should implement 3-state sorting switch then, asc, desc, no-sorting, and
"no-sorting" means "by internaldate".
