And of course once you open the context menu one of the first few options is “Sort ascending”, and the next is “Sort Descending”. Those are for sorting rather than filtering. You do not need the submenu for the sorting options, only the filtering options. Sorry if that explanation was not needed

Yes, VO does not always speak the initial list of row/column headers when you first enter the headers. But, arrowing up or down will speak either row or column header. anyway, once you have your desired column selected and have brought up the context menu, you have those sort and filter options

Hi Phil, I didn’t want to dought your instructions. I’m sorry if I raised this impression. I find it very useful if people take the time to answer very detailed. Thanks for that. And I agree, to assume people know to press Enter is something you can expect. What I find confusing: 1. My VO does

Hi, try to jump to the head of the table at first by pressing VO + Shift + ‚. It might be another key combination on english keyboards but you might find it yourself. There you can choose wether to jump to column head or row head. Then you can open the context menue. But in terms of the sorting
