Comment (by joedolson):

 I can see this less-verbose approach being useful for users with a high
 level of comfort with how list tables work, but I'm not sure it includes
 enough information.

 In the more verbose patch, since the sortability information is after the
 header name, it seems like highly skilled users can still move past
 without being bothered by the verbosity, while less skilled users will get
 all the information they need.

 Do you think screen reader users with a lower skill level would still get
 as much information as they need with the less verbose information?
