Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 `nowrap` doesn't work if a parent `th` element has fixed width (10% in
 this case).

 So far the only solutions I can think of are:
 1. Display sorting indicator as a background for the link itself, without
 additional `<span>`. This actually works and keeps the same appearance,
 but requires two separate sprites instead of one.
 2. Use only `min-width` for those columns or don't specify the width at
 all. This makes the header noticeably wider, and the whole column looks
 odd because it's not left aligned like others.
