Screenreader Data Grid Columnheader Sortability

created 4 days ago

Dear Support,
when using the Data Grid with a screen reader, there is no output in the group headers that a column is sortable. If a column is sorted, there is a corresponding output.

How does a screenreader user know that a column is sortable? Can you add an additional information, which outputs that a column is sortable?

Regards,
Felix

Hello,

Use headerCellTemplate to create custom headers that include required flags and labels. We demonstrated this setup in Angular Data Grid - Multi-Level Headers (Bands).

Let me know if this helps.
