Hover text on sorting buttons not available on mobile
The sorting buttons at the top of a category's post list have title text which appears on hovering with a mouse, but this is not available on mobile devices.

"Activity", "Age", and "Score" are reasonably intuitive names, so a mobile user could still guess at their meaning, but "Native" would be meaningless to a new user unfamiliar with the fact that we have some imported content.

How can we show this additional information in a way that does not require a mouse/trackpad? Should the title text for just the selected sort show on the next line down? Should this be for all devices or only on mobile?

Here's how that might look on mobile:
