Other properties where it is important to know the relative difference between each sorted item like sales figures are important to show. | |

| Aug 8, 2013 at 4:09 | comment | added | Michael Lai♦ | On the point about sorting options with no visible data associated, how would users know the relative difference between the ranks? As for dropdowns being touch friendly, I think column headers by default should show icons to allow people to interact rather than having to hover over to discover. Otherwise, a good question and good thinking behind it. | |
