Aria support for column header 'aria-label' sort description not changing on sort

Hi,
Regarding the issue
http://datatables.net/forums/discussion/17440/the-issue-of-aria-label-description-on-head-columns-in-only-server-side-pagination
We have implemented the latest version of datatables v1.10.2, but still the issue exists.
We are using NVDA screen reader, the sorting description(aria-label) of column header is not getting updated. It is always read as "activate to sort column ascending" even when the column is sorted ascending. Instead it should be read as "activate to sort column descending".

Thanks in advance.
