Currently it doesn't: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sortable_table Exception thrown by mediawiki.page.ready: Unknown dependency: jquery.tablesorter Apart from adding mobile target in Resources.php in core, we need to fix our CSS because <td> positioning is wrong when using tablesorter.
What is the benefit of adding this to mobile? Do people really care about table sorting on a mobile device? Does it even make sense on a mobile phone? How does this play into existing problems with tables which have remained unsolved for years [1]? How would the controls work on mobile? We should think from the user's perspective rather than the existing code perspective. [1] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36936
Also: Is it worth the additional payload no matter how small? Has the existing code been tested vigorously across mobile devices? Will it be tested vigorously in future?
While I agree that this is not a top priority, I'm not sure why the status is UNCONFIRMED.
Not sure what happened there didn't mean to change it. Marking as NEW again.
