Re: Feedback on a table sort implementation

On further reflection, I think the above-table description is going to be the best option. Adding anything I can think of to the buttons makes the speech cumbersome, and is one of those things you only need to know once. If the table's description is read (which happens in all cases of entering the table *except* tabbing to a header), it becomes a lot of unnecessary noise.

I still don't understand why tabbing into the table doesn't cause the "aria-describedby" element to be read. Is that an NVDA bug, or just standard screen reader behavior?
