Issue Summary
The content associated with the "Order by" expandable link in the main content does not have an appropriate reading order.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open "Issues" page.
- Using screen reader, navigate to the "Order by" link present in main content area and activate it.
- Arrow down onto the expandable content from the link.
- Note that the content associated with it is available at the end of the page.
Screenshot
Actual Results
When the "Order by" link is expanded, the expanded content of this link is available at the end of the page for screen reader users. This is because this content is not coded directly after the link in the DOM. It is instead coded at the end of the page.
This inappropriate reading order might disorient the users of screen readers. That the content is available at the end might confuse or mislead them.
Expected Results
Content must have an appropriate reading order. Assistive technologies navigate content using the order in which elements appear in the DOM. Hence, make sure that the content is programmatically ordered in such a way that it provides an appropriate reading order to the users of assistive technologies. Make sure that the content that gets available on expanding the link is coded directly after the expandable link in the DOM. This will create an appropriate reading order for the users of assistive technologies. For instance, this will enable them to arrow down onto the expanded content when the link is expanded.
