Grid Pane Column Headers

The heading for each column is rendered as an HTML anchor tag. As they are rendered as hyperlinks, each column heading is a tab stop when traversing the form.

For sortable grids, pressing the Enter key activates the hyperlink, and sorts the rows on that column between three possible states: unsorted (the default), sorted ascending, and sorted descending.

The keyboard shortcuts listed in the table Keyboard Shortcuts for Grid Pane Column Headers are applicable only to the grid pane column headers.
