Currently applied sorts are indicated by replacing the grey double headed arrows with a single dark grey arrow head (down for descending order, up for ascending order).
Account selection	Clicking on account row (rows are highlighted as the mouse moves over it) will cause the individual account to be applied in the filter. All pages in the data section will now display only data related to the selected account.
