Item9042: non-header-style header cell disables table sorting

If a table has an empty header cell, or a header cell that is not "header style" (user forgot the asterisks, table sorting is disabled.

Sortable:

| *A* | *B* | *C * | *D* |
| apple | banana | Cherry | date |
| aardvark | beetle | cat | dog |
| ample | barely | classic | deep |

Not sortable:

A	B	C	D
apple	banana	Cherry	date
aardvark	beetle	cat	dog
ample	barely	classic	deep

A	B	C
apple	banana	Cherry
aardvark	beetle	cat
ample	barely	classic

The second "not sortable" example above occurred when a co-worker created a Table with one too many EDITTABLE formats defined. He was most surprised that adding a row using EditTable turned off sorting.

This does not occur in trunk. The changes in TablePlugin have been to big to make this available in release branch. I suggest to either use the latest version from SVN at your own risk, or wait for Foswiki 1.1.
