I am trying to get the mat-table sorting to work locally, and while I can get the data to show up as expected, clicking on the header row does not do the sorting as it does on online examples (nothing happens at all).
I am trying to get this demo working locally:
https://material.angular.io/components/sort/overview
https://plnkr.co/edit/XF5VxOSEBxMTd9Yb3ZLA?p=preview
I have generated a new project with Angular CLI, then followed these steps: https://material.angular.io/guide/getting-started
Here are my local files:
app.module.ts

AppComponent,
TableSortingExample,
MatSort
],

MatTableModule
],

bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
app.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

Does anyone have an idea of why it would show up like the online table but lack the sorting functionality?
ng test --sm=falseand see what's come out. – Subterranean
