Re: Data Table Sort Feature

Devarshi,
I am testing with JAWS 16, NVDA 2015.1:

There are two grids and column header row is repeated in both; the
first has no data rows and the 2nd grid has an empty first row.
This is confusing in itself.
Then:
On loading the page, on grid#1:
aria-controls=example
aria-label=Name: activate to sort column descending
aria-sort=ascending
Then I sorted the table using age:
aria-controls=example
aria-label=Name: activate to sort column ascending
aria-sort=ascending
In grid#2:col headers are in row#2  and I see
aria-controls=example
aria-label=Age: activate to sort column ascending
aria-sort=descending

An example of incorrect ARIA use?
Thanks,
Sailesh
