Another table sort question

I'm looking at "Datatables" (see URL https://datatables.net/), and it seems to have done a lot to try and be accessible, but to me it seems a bit iffy. The context changes depending how I navigate the table, and depending on the context it may announce "Position" or "Position: activate to sort column ascending" as the header as I browse the cells.

Am I just not used to the right way to do a more interactive grid, or are these quirks going to present problems in the real world?
