--- Comment #2 from Owen Leonard <oleonard at myacpl.org> ---
I have some issues with this:

In the staff client:

- Sortable columns do not have a visual indicator that they are sortable. They
should have an icon like JavaScript-sorted table headers do.
- Only DESC sorting is implemented. This is contrary to user expectations based
on how table sorting is handled everywhere else in Koha.
- How do you sort by call number if there can be any number of call numbers
attached to a particular title?

In the OPAC:

- Sorting depends on JavaScript, but isn't hidden if JavaScript is disabled.
Two options here:

1. Hide the sorting form by default and reveal it via JS.
2. Add a submit button to the sort form and hide it with JS.

- The call number sort here is just as problematic as in the staff client.

I assume that server-side sorting was chosen because these interfaces have
server-side pagination. Although it depends on JavaScript, I like the
DataTables option for sorting, particularly in the staff client, because it
keeps things consistent. I wouldn't reject a patch for not using DataTables,
but I think it should be considered.
