@Sundwalltanner commented on GitHub (May 3, 2022):

I believe this is due to the DataTables plug-in basing whether it uses the text within the <td> element or the data-sort attribute of that element on the first row in the table. I think this is fine as long as you're at the root, but if you're anywhere deeper than that where the first row of the table is a back button and a bunch of empty cells, those empty cells don't have data-sort attributes, so the DataTables plug-in ends up using the text within each <td> element and completely ignores data-sort.

Solving this should be as simple as giving each of the <td> elements in the row with the back button a data-sort attribute with an empty string value.

This is the same problem causing issue #485.
