Re: Feedback on a table sort implementation

I notice the following differences with this table when using Jaws,
NVDA, Firefox 60.2 Google chrom 66 and IE 11.

Ie 11 with Jaws
moving to table with table nav key t
Jaws describes the table with the number of rows and columns. The sort
info not provided at all.
Column headings are announced when moving to each cell.
Using control Insert + t to list the tables on the page lists the
column headings for the table as well as some of the data from the next
row. Had you coded a caption for the table, this information would have
been presented instead.

NVDA with IE 11
moving to table with table nav key t
Nvda describes the table with the number of rows and columns. The
sort info not provided at all.
Column headings are announced when moving to each cell.

Firefox 60.2 with Jaws
moving to table with table nav key t
Jaws describes the table with the number of rows and columns. Then
provides the sort info.
Navigating to each cell speaks the cell title as well as "up down arrow
button"
Using control Insert + t to list the tables on the page specifies the
sort info and then describes the table as 5x74

Firefox 60.2 with NVDA
moving to table with table nav key t
NVDA describes the table with the number of rows and columns. Then
provides the sort info.
Navigating to each cell speaks the cell title but does not include the
up down arrow button

Google chrome 66 with Jaws
moving to table with table nav key t
Jaws describes the table with the number of rows and columns. Then
provides the sort info.
Navigating to each cell speaks the cell title but not "up down arrow
button"
Using control Insert + t to list the tables on the page specifies the
sort info and then describes the table as 5x74

Google chrome 66 with NVDA
moving to table with table nav key t
NVDA describes the table with the number of rows and columns. Then
provides the sort info.
Navigating to each cell will provide the column title as well as the
data for that cell. However, for some reason the title heading for
column 1 is not provided for that cell.
