In T233340 we enabled sortability for sortable tables on mobile web. This seemed to work as expected, but it seems that it doesn't work on talk pages. See, for example, https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022#Interim_(very_unofficial)_count. The sortable buttons are present, and tapping the cells displays an interaction, but the column sort is not applied. The same table functions as expected on desktop.

I wonder if this might be fixed in the upcoming mobile web talk page redesign @ppelberg?

I just tested this at https://patchdemo.wmflabs.org/wikis/6c2b1c9b3e/wiki/Talk:New_York#Testing_a_sortable_table and it looks like this does work in the new design.

Great spot, @Samwalton9.
It looks like the issue of tables that appear on talk pages not being sortable is confined to the MobileFrontend talk page overlay. [i]
And seeing as how in the process of rolling out the set of mobile talk page improvements we'll be deprecating the MobileFrontend talk page overlay, I think this issue will resolve itself.
i. When I:
- Tap the Read as wiki page link that appears at the bottom of Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022
- Navigate to == Interim (very unofficial) count ==
- ✅ Tap the headers in the table within the == Interim (very unofficial) count == section, the table sorts as expected

Indeed this work correctly in the new interface. You can try it out here: https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022?dtenable=1#Interim_(very_unofficial)_count
I think we can close this, like we did with other issues about the current mobile interface for talk pages (T278590).
