There are two features the patch provides:
- All sortable columns in tabulated-list-mode derivatives that are wide
enough to display a sort indicator when selected do so (sortable
columns that are not wide enough include e.g. the first three in the
Buffer-menu-mode table). In contrast, currently, i.e. without the
patch, all final sortable columns and some non-final ones that are
wide enough do not display the sort indicator when selected.
- When a column (whether selected or not) is made narrower (by
repeatedly typing `{') than the length of the column label in the
header line, the label is truncated and displays a trailing ellipis,
just like the data lines of such columns in the table (if such a
narrowed column is sortable and selected, the the sort indicator is
still displayed after the ellipis). In contrast, currently, the
column labels are not truncated, which can lead to misalignment
between the header line and the data lines. (However, even with the
patch, misalignment can happen, because the data lines can be
truncated to display nothing but the ellipis, while the header line
labels always show at least the first letter of the label. I think
the display of the data lines here is questionable, but dealing with
that is another issue.)
