Description

Describe the solution you'd like

Make it possible and easy to copy and sort from a column from a sql result

Describe alternatives you've considered

As of from now, I did not find an easy solution to copy a column name and to order from it, for exemple I "select * from .." and then I want to order from a certain column and I can't copy only the column name, I can copy the datas, or the "header column" in option, but then it copy the header and all the datas. For exemple in phpMyAdmin, you can double click on the column name from the result to copy it

Other example, in phpMyAdmin, by left clicking the column name, it order asc, then clicking again order desc. It make it easy to order it

Research direction

Start by locating pgAdmin's SQL result grid and its column-header behavior. Review how result data and headers are currently copied, then verify that a column header can be copied alone and that repeated header clicks sort ascending and descending as requested.
