Table sorting

A table that is sortable is identified by arrows to the right of the header in a header cell. A sortable table may be sortable by one or more columns in the table. Clicking an arrow sorts the table rows based on the selected column. Repeated clicking of an arrow changes the sort state in this sequence: Ascending, Descending, Unsorted.
Shift-clicking the arrows of other columns will trigger a secondary sort based on the most recent column on which the shift-click occurred. NB: Shift-clicking capability extends to tertiary and beyond.
Below you find an example to test the sort-function:
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | Header 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | b | a | 300 |
| 2 | a | b | 200 |
| 3 | c | c | 100 |
| 1 | a | c | 100 |
| 2 | b | a | 200 |
| 3 | a | b | 300 |
| 1 | c | b | 200 |
| 2 | c | c | 200 |
| 3 | b | a | 100 |
