Add arrows to sorted colums

I found this tutorial on w3schools: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_sort_table.asp . Basically shows you how to sort a table by clicking the headers.

However, it doesn't have a feature I want, directional arrows on the column that is being sorted.

I have the CSS:

.table-sortable th {
  cursor: pointer;
}

.table-sortable .th-sort-asc::after {
  content: "\25b4";
}

.table-sortable .th-sort-desc::after {
  content: "\25be";
}

.table-sortable .th-sort-asc::after,
.table-sortable .th-sort-desc::after {
  margin-left: 5px;
}

.table-sortable .th-sort-asc,
.table-sortable .th-sort-desc {
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}

My problem is adding the different classes when the th is clicked, changing them when clicked again, and remove when clicking a different column.

JS from w3:

function sortTable(n) {
  var table, rows, switching, i, x, y, shouldSwitch, dir, switchcount = 0;
  table = document.getElementById("myTable2");
  switching = true;
  // Set the sorting direction to ascending:
  dir = "asc";
  /* Make a loop that will continue until
  no switching has been done: */
  while (switching) {
    // Start by saying: no switching is done:
    switching = false;
    rows = table.rows;
    /* Loop through all table rows (except the
    first, which contains table headers): */
    for (i = 1; i < (rows.length - 1); i++) {
      // Start by saying there should be no switching:
      shouldSwitch = false;
      /* Get the two elements you want to compare,
      one from current row and one from the next: */
      x = rows[i].getElementsByTagName("TD")[n];
      y = rows[i + 1].getElementsByTagName("TD")[n];
      /* Check if the two rows should switch place,
      based on the direction, asc or desc: */
      if (dir == "asc") {
        if (x.innerHTML.toLowerCase() > y.innerHTML.toLowerCase()) {
          // If so, mark as a switch and break the loop:
          shouldSwitch = true;
          break;
        }
      } else if (dir == "desc") {
        if (x.innerHTML.toLowerCase() < y.innerHTML.toLowerCase()) {
          // If so, mark as a switch and break the loop:
          shouldSwitch = true;
          break;
        }
      }
    }
    if (shouldSwitch) {
      /* If a switch has been marked, make the switch
      and mark that a switch has been done: */
      rows[i].parentNode.insertBefore(rows[i + 1], rows[i]);
      switching = true;
      // Each time a switch is done, increase this count by 1:
      switchcount ++;
    } else {
      /* If no switching has been done AND the direction is "asc",
      set the direction to "desc" and run the while loop again. */
      if (switchcount == 0 && dir == "asc") {
        dir = "desc";
        switching = true;
      }
    }
  }
}

Any help is greatly appreciated!
