Comment (by joedolson):

 @alexstine I actually think that the instruction 'Click' is unnecessary.
 It should just say "Sort descending" or "Sort ascending" without any
 action verb. "Sort" is an action verb, so I don't think an additional
 action is needed.

 But I do think that having information about what activating a header
 control will do. If the header isn't currently sorted, right now the user
 has no way of knowing which way it will be sorted on activation.
