When you order by a field, the field range is shown in the header. Even when that field is a blob... That gets kind of ugly when there's a few mb of binary data in that blob. ;)
Thanks. I used $cfg['LimitChars'] to limit the display. I was tempted to block sorting of this kind of column but some people put ordinary text in their BLOBs.

If you output binary data, you're probably violating the UTF-8 char encoding.

That's their problem. ;)
However, binary data like shas1 hashes can be sorted too.
