The <sortable> Attribute

You can customize away those UI elements that enable users to sort objects by setting the value of the <sortable>-tag to false. This customizes away the respective sort buttons/indicators in the header of the grid table (see Figure 4-4).

The following example shows how to customize away the sort button/indicator for the Usage attribute of Addressables, i.e. the code removes the attribute sort button/indicator crossed out in Figure 4-4
