Hello.
Could we please have an update that makes NVDA read the column header in NVDA before everything else?
As an example, say you're using Excel to make a budget. NVDA will read the amount, what it's for, and then the month. Instead, would it be possible to have it say something like, "Jan rent $400"?
Thanks

The problem here is that for someone using a spreadsheet a lot, navigating through many values, it delays hearing the value for the cell. Which given that is where their focus is, is the thing they care about hearing first.

Imagine reading down that column and hearing "Jan" before every item. Then imagine it the column header text was longer, like "standard deviation of population".
