html table sorting columns

is it possible to sort columns in a table? if not, is it due to the html code that is not allowed? finally, can i use wai-aria in the html tables?

Hi there,
Only certain kinds of code are allowed on your WordPress.com site. Here is more information about the code available:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/Since we don’t allow Javascript, you wouldn’t be able to sort the columns of a table. I’m not familiar with wai-aria; can you tell me a bit about it?

The WAI-ARIA acronym stands for web accessibility initiative-accessible rich internet applications. i.e. disability-related code. It derives from the section 508 standards. In creating an html table with wai-aria, one can use java script , but one does not have too. The Social Security Administration has a comprehensive example where they show you how to create a table with (js example) and without it (htm example). http://www.ssa.gov/accessibility/bpl/bps/tables/basic/default.htm. Can you confirm that I cannot use wai-aria (the htm example not the js example) on wordpress.com? I’m sure this is an important issue to many people and organizations.
p.s., section 508 derives from Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. 29 U.S.C. § 794d.
thank you for your response(s).

Hi there,
I just checked and found out that those aria tags are indeed stripped in our editor. We always welcome recommendations and suggestions for increasing our accessibility, so I’ve taken this suggestion to our internal team for review.
Cheers!
