      To include a separator line between the row titles and the data

    • C.

      To not include the column titles row in the sort

    • D.

      To include a separator line between the column titles and the data

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. To display the names of each column when choosing the sort order
    C. To not include the column titles row in the sort
    Explanation
    Clicking to indicate a header row exists in the table data is important for two reasons. Firstly, it allows the names of each column to be displayed when choosing the sort order. This helps in easily identifying and selecting the desired column for sorting. Secondly, by indicating a header row, it ensures that the column titles row is not included in the sort. This is important as including the column titles row in the sort can lead to incorrect sorting results.
