Steps to reproduce the issue

Try to order table columns using:

HTMLHelper::_('grid.sort', 'Text', 's.title', $this->orders['order_Dir'], $this->orders['order'], 'contents.display');

Expected result

Ordering still works

Actual result

Ordering does not work

System information (as much as possible)

Caused by removing the onclick handler in the sort function:

$html = '<a href="#" onclick="Joomla.tableOrdering('' . $order . '','' . $direction . '','' . $task . ''' . $form . ');return false;"'
. ' class="hasTooltip" title="' . htmlspecialchars(Text::_('JGLOBAL_CLICK_TO_SORT_THIS_COLUMN')) . '" data-bs-placement="top">';

and replaced with:

$html = '<a href="#" class="hasTooltip" title="' . htmlspecialchars(Text::_('JGLOBAL_CLICK_TO_SORT_THIS_COLUMN')) . '"'
. ' data-ordering-order="' . $order . '"'
. ' data-ordering-direction="' . $direction . '"'
. ' data-ordering-task="' . $task . '"'
. ' data-ordering-form="' . (isset($form) ? $form : '') . '"'
. ' data-bs-placement="top">';
