The behavior with your patch looks like an improvement to me.  How about
the case when we narrow the column but there is no sort indicator,
should we use the ellipsis then?  See for example `list-buffers' when
using the narrowing commands without sorting on any of the headers.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here, could you elaborate?
