disable sorting on specific columns in ag-grid-react

Question

I am using ag-grid-react and would like to sortable columns in it.

When I put enableSorting=true on , it enables sorting on all the columns. I don't want all columns to be sortable and instead would like sorting to be driven from the columnDef.(E.g sort the column only if its respective columnDef contain sortable=true.

Attaching the sample and columnDef with codesandbox link

<AgGridReact
columnDefs={this.state.columnDefs}
enableColResize={true}
onGridReady={this.onGridReady.bind(this)}
rowData={this.state.rowData}
enableSorting={true}
/>

columnDefs: [
        {
          headerName: "Athlete",
          field: "athlete",
          width: 150,
          suppressSizeToFit: true
        },
        {
          headerName: "Age",
          field: "age",
          width: 90,
          minWidth: 50,
          maxWidth: 100
        },
        {
          headerName: "Country",
          field: "country",
          width: 120
        },
        {
          headerName: "Year",
          field: "year",
          width: 90
        },
        {
          headerName: "Date",
          field: "date",
          width: 110
        },
        {
          headerName: "Sport",
          field: "sport",
          width: 110
        },
        {
          headerName: "Gold",
          field: "gold",
          width: 100
        },
        {
          headerName: "Silver",
          field: "silver",
          width: 100
        },
        {
          headerName: "Bronze",
          field: "bronze",
          width: 100
        },
        {
          headerName: "Total",
          field: "total",
          width: 100
        }
      ],
