Bug #: 33249
Summary: Move the sort indicator to be above or below the table
header
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.18

Split off from bug 31755
Zlight would like that the tableheader indicators are on a seperate line from
the table header.
To quote:
I hope that the sorting icon is put above the header name so that tables
with many columns have more room for the header text.

The sorting icon really needs to be above the text in a header cell. This
allows for more columns to fit within the width of the screen. It also allows
more space for the text within the header cells, since no space is taken up by
the sorting icon. This is useful for tables with many columns. For example; see
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
Go to that page and make your browser window more narrow (the middle button of
the 3 buttons at the top of the browser window). Drag the right side of the
window to get various window widths. Scroll down the page. Note that when the
sorting icon is to the right of the text that the sorting icon does not wrap.
So the table then requires a horizontal scrolling bar sooner than the tables
with the sorting icons above the headers.
Also, note the tables in the "Country subdivisions" section of that page. The
tables start off closed. I can not put the sorting icons above the text. If I
do then the column header text is not readable. The text would be readable if
the default position of the sorting icon was above the text. Right now there is
no way I can fix this problem.
