aria-sort

Token

Indicates whether a table or grid column is currently sorted and in which direction — ascending, descending, other, or none. Put it on the header cell of the sorted column, and mark only one column at a time. Screen readers announce the sort state so users understand how the data is ordered.

Values
none (default)
There is no defined sort applied.
ascending
Items are sorted in ascending order.
descending
Items are sorted in descending order.
other
A sort algorithm other than ascending or descending was applied.
