Description
What would you like to be added
Add visible sort indicators (for example ↕, ↑, ↓) to sortable table headers on .sortable-table pages.
Currently, sortable columns support keyboard interaction and aria-sort, but there is no visible indication that a column is sortable or which direction is currently active.
Possible implementation approaches:
- CSS pseudo-elements on sortable headers
- Inline indicator elements updated during sorting
- Indicators synchronized with the current
aria-sortstate
Why is this needed
Visible sort indicators improve discoverability and usability for all users by making sortable columns easier to identify and by exposing the current sort direction visually alongside existing accessibility improvements.
This would complement the keyboard accessibility and aria-sort updates introduced in PR #55730 .
Comments
This issue is intended as a follow-up enhancement discussion to keep the accessibility/sorting behavior changes separate from UI-related improvements.
