How to override default_scope in ActiveAdmin in Rails

ruby-on-rails activeadmin default-scope

In a resource registered with ActiveAdmin, I have the following default_scope defined for the model:

default_scope :order => 'activities.updated_at DESC'

This apparently prevents me from being able to change the sorting on the resource's index page by clicking on the column titles. Is there a way to keep this default scope but get Active Admin sorting to work?
