sorting column headers

We are working on a web app that displays data in columns that can be sorted by clicking on the hypertexted label in the table header. Would you say, or not, that a link in a table header is understood by screen reader users to indicate sorting functionality? Or should some onscreen instructions be provided?

Thank you,
