Improve visibility of datatable sorting #12682

Open sgiehl opened 6 years ago

sgiehl commented 6 years ago

Most datatables are sortable by all columns. At the moment only the column that is currently sorted shows an arrow within the column header. For new users it might not be directly visible that it is also possible to sort the table by any other column. Instead of only showing an arrow for the column that is sorted, we could show double arrows like this for all columns that are sortable and a single highlighted arrow for the currently sorted column.

Great suggestion @sgiehl

-> On Hover on a column, show an icon to show that the column is sortable. To fix the problem that people don't know that columns are sortable (easy to miss)
