NotSortable	0	The column can only be sorted programmatically, but it is not intended for sorting, so the column header will not include space for a sorting glyph.
Automatic	1	The user can sort the column by clicking the column header (or pressing F3 on a cell) unless the column headers are used for selection. A sorting glyph will be displayed automatically.
Programmatic	2	The column can only be sorted programmatically, and the column header will include space for a sorting glyph.
