I recently saw in the W3Schools html tags reference two attributes I don't quite understand. The first is the <table sortable="sortable">
attribute, and the second is <th sorted="sorted">
attribute.
According to W3Schools, the sortable
attribute description is:
Specifies that the table should be sortable
And the description for the sorted
attribute is:
Defines the sort direction of a column
And the values the sorted
attribute accept are:
reversed
number
reversed number
number reversed
I tried to follow the W3C documentation here about how to use those attributes but it doesn't works for me.
I would be very thankful for an answer. Thank you.
In 2016, the table sorting model (including "sortable" and "sorted" attributes) was completely removed from HTML5.1 draft, due to lack of implementations.
Reference: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/56
The W3C document your are referring to is a draft for HTML 5.1, which is scheduled for publication in 2016 and not implemented in any browser today AFAIK (hey, HTML 5 is not yet fully implemented and targets feature freeze in june 2014).
Now, if you need sortable table, there are plenty javascript-based libraries out there that can do that.
