Sortable does not work?

The sortable function does not seem to work, but cannot see why. Help needed. Tabletop (talk) 03:11, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried clicking on a column header? Which browser are you using? I note that the sort direction icons are now missing, but the sorting does seem to work for me. 50.131.221.150 (talk) 05:54, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
