^^^sortable
Whether current column is sortable.

:::warning
`Column` does not handle sorting itself. It only emits a [`sort`](./table#events-sort) event on `Table` when the sorter is clicked so users need handle sorting themselves.

^^^span
A function that defines how cells should span across rows/columns. The type is `function(index: number): { row: number, col: number }`, where `index` being the index of current row inside the [`data`](./table#props-data) prop of the parent `Table`. The `row` / `col` of the return value correspond to table cell's `rowspan` / `colspan` attribut, with a default value of `1`.

:::tip
You can learn more abut how to use this in `Table` component's [Demos › Advanced](./table#advanced).
