Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-02-27 18:51:57 UTC 
Right now, th is soft-mapped to gridcell. We should make that soft mapping only apply when its "column key ordinality" is not "1", and when it is, hard-map it to columnheader, and set aria-sort to ascending if its column sort direction is normal, and descending otherwise (because aria-sort only applies to columnheader and rowheader for some reason).

oh and the th should be a sorting-capable th element.
