Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Sort controls Choose sort controls when the same result set can be usefully ordered by two or more meaningful attributes. Changing a Sort by select applies the new order to the full current result set and keeps unrelated query and filter state intact. Maersk documents clickable sorting headers, active suffix icons, and unsorted, ascending, and descending table modes.
Table Choose table when each row represents one record and each column represents the same attribute for every row. The table caption or nearby heading names the dataset and purpose, not just Table. Maersk table guidance supports clickable column headers, sort modes, and relationships between table sorting, searching, and filtering.
