No worries, you have to click the "Enable sort" button to toggle editing on
and off. It's off by default.

I just noticed something curious, in JAWS if you have a button element with
a title like so
<button title="Enable sort">Sort</button>
JAWS will read the button text when arrowing but will read the title when
tabbing.
However, if you change the tag to
<button role="button" title="Enable sort">Sort</button>
JAWS will then read the title when both arrowing and tabbing.
