getCanSort() is true for any column with an accessor since we never gate enableSorting, so plain columns with no sort UI get aria-sort="none" too . This attribute is what tells screen readers a column is sortable. Could we check columnDef.enableSorting === true instead?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Confirmed from the table-core source: getCanSort() is columnDef.enableSorting ?? true and table.options.enableSorting ?? true and !!accessorFn, so every accessor column passed it. Switched to columnDef.enableSorting === true in 1c265ad.
One consequence: the two docs sorting examples never set it either, so they would have gone silent. I added enableSorting: true there and a line in the docs saying what it turns on. Happy to drop that part if you would rather keep the docs change separate.

Does this hold when sorting[0] isn't rendered? with a bad id or a column hidden by columnVisibility the rows come out sorted but every header reports none.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It did not hold. I wrote a test for it first: with sorting: [{ id: 'unknown' }, { id: 'id' }] the old helper gave none on every header while the rows came out sorted, and columnVisibility: { email: false } did the same.
1c265ad drops the index check and takes the first sort key that has a visible sortable header, so key 2 gets the direction when key 1 has no th. Test is skips sort keys with no th on screen when picking the primary sort column, covering both the bad id and the hidden column.

the trailing 'none' looks unreachable since getSortIndex() === 0 means the column is in the sorting state. getIsSorted() first would also save a second scan of the array.

You are right, it was dead code. getSortIndex() reads the position in the sorting state, so index 0 guaranteed getIsSorted() was not false.
1c265ad calls getIsSorted() first and drops getSortIndex() completely. The trailing none is reachable now: it covers a column that is sorted but is not the primary key.

this one passes even if getAriaSort just returns undefined, and every() is true on an empty array so it goes quiet if tfoot stops rendering. worth adding expect(footerThs.length).toBeGreaterThan(0) and a positive assertion on the thead th?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Added both in 1c265ad: expect(footerThs.length).toBeGreaterThan(0), and a positive check that the real email header on the second row reports ascending while the placeholder above it reports nothing.
The first test also asserts a column with no enableSorting key gets no attribute, so the helper cannot pass by returning undefined everywhere.

We could return AriaAttributes['aria-sort'] from vue here, it's already imported on line 3.

Done in 1c265ad. It was not on line 3 yet, so I added AriaAttributes to the existing vue type import.

The reusable sorting example renders the same sort dropdown for all five columns and starts sorted on `id`, but only `email` and `amount` set `enableSorting`, so the sorted column got no `aria-sort`. Set it on the other three too, and reword the prose so it describes `aria-sort` as the sort state rather than the control.

Resolves #6877
❓ Type of change
📚 Description
Table's sortable columns never announced their sort state to assistive technology. The<th>picked updata-pinned,scope,classandstylefromheader.column, but nothing told a screen reader whether that column was sorted, or in which direction, so a sortable header read the same as a plain one.aria-sortis the attribute WAI-ARIA defines for exactly this. This adds a smallgetAriaSort()helper next to the existingresolveValue/getColumnStyleshelpers: it returnsundefinedwhen the column can't be sorted (so the attribute is omitted entirely), and otherwise mapscolumn.getIsSorted()to'ascending','descending', or'none'. It's bound on both<th>blocks in the template, header and footer, since both iterate over the sameheader.columnand can carry the same sort state.Added a test asserting the attribute on an unsorted sortable column, a non-sortable column (no attribute at all), and both sorted directions via the
sortingmodel.📝 Checklist
