This appears to be a UI behavior change in the DynamoDB console. While I don't have specific information about an intentional change to the column sorting functionality that occurred yesterday, there have been reports of other UI behavior changes in the DynamoDB console recently.
The column header arrows you're seeing would typically indicate that sorting functionality is available, so the fact that clicking them no longer works suggests this could be a regression or bug rather than an intentional feature removal.
If this functionality is important for your workflow, I would recommend:
- Try different browsers to see if the issue persists across all of them
- Clear your browser cache and cookies to rule out any client-side issues
- Open a support case with AWS to report this issue, as the DynamoDB team may not be aware of it
AWS support would be the best channel to confirm whether this is an intentional change or a bug that needs to be fixed. The DynamoDB team has been responsive to UI issues reported through proper support channels in the past.
