Hello there ValentinPrischepa! 👋

Thank you and congratulations 🎉 for opening your very first issue in this project! 💖

In case you want to claim this issue, please comment down below! We will try to get back to you as soon as we can. 👀
Add sorting order to the consumer groups page.
### Is your proposal related to a problem?

  We can sort consumer groups by groupId, number of members, or state, but can't set order direction(ASC/DESC)
<!--

-->



### Describe the solution you'd like

  We need to pass an additional parameter from UI, to define sort order direction, similar functionality to Topic page sorting.
