The table sorting functionality was previously only accessible via mouse clicks and lacked screen reader context. This PR enhances the table header wrappers by adding proper ARIA roles, labels, and keyboard support, making the sorting feature intuitive and accessible for all users.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 3916672014575745057 started by @Woschj

Improved the accessibility and user experience of table column sorting in the shared list view.

Changes:
- Added `role="button"` and `tabindex="0"` to table sorting wrappers for keyboard accessibility.
- Added descriptive `aria-label` to sorting triggers (e.g., 'Sortieren nach Name').
- Implemented keyboard event listeners ('Enter' and 'Space') to trigger sorting.
- Added dynamic `aria-sort` attribute management on `th` elements to provide screen reader feedback on the current sorting state.
- Added `aria-hidden="true"` to sort icons to avoid redundant screen reader announcements.

These improvements ensure that the application's data tables are fully accessible to keyboard users and screen readers.
