Description Derk-Jan Hartman 2013-08-25 14:07:32 PDT
According to this bug: 53842 aria-sort support was added to Webkit quite a while ago. However it does not seem to me as if this is actually working in Mountain Lion VoiceOver + Safari 6. Did it break, or was support never added in the Operating System ?

This issue is in response to trying to add aria-sort support to Wikipedia. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/80872/

Where are you applying this? To just any old table? or column header?
Comment 4 Derk-Jan Hartman 2013-08-28 02:48:14 PDT
To a columnheader in a thead. 

I also tested this example: http://www.oaa-accessibility.org/examplep/grid2/
which also doesn't seem to work. You DO get ascending/descending feedback in that example, but that is from the live-region, that is being updated. The columnheader itself does not seem to present this information to the user.

Looks like WebKit exposes all the info correctly. VoiceOver just needs to use it. Technically this is no longer a webkit bug since a fix will not happen in the webkit code base. This radar is tracking the VoiceOver work
