I wonder about the importance of blocking the user from sorting on a
column. If it isn't useful, they won't do it---why explicitly prevent it?

Thanks. That's the piece of code. However, I'm not sure I can simply
put field header names in there as this code base is used for numerous
exhibits.
I was thinking about adding a new parameter setting to the tabular
view to control whether sorting is used or not for that field.
Something like columnSort and would work similar to the other column
settings:
ex:columns = ".label, .name, .tags, .notes"
ex:columnLabels = "ID, Name, Keywords, Additional Notes"
ex:columnFormats = "list, list, list, list"
ex:columnSort = "1,1,0,0"
"1" would represent to allow column sorting through clicking on the
header, "0" would not allow it. On the surface, this seems like a
minimal change to the code. Would it be beneficial to incorporate it?

PS - One of the advantages of disabling sorting for certain columns is
because there are some bugs in the tabular view sorting. For columns
with sorting problems, this can be disabled until the bugs get worked out.
