And I don't see how this is necessarily a bad thing. If a table is
re-sorted, wouldn't you need to start reading it over again since items are
in a different order? Otherwise, how would you know where to start
re-reading the table?

Lisa, are you worried that some assistive technology would not start reading
the page over if it was re-sorted?
