Header on a column not showing up?

Hi I have a vf page that shows a list of records, and I want to make the column sortable.

I thought of a way to do this and it's pretty straight forward, the problem I am having; I can't make the header a link.

 

I want the user to click on the header value to sort the column.

But when I add an apex commandLink to the header the value of the header goes away.

 

Any insight would be very helpful.

Thanks.

 

 

<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!myMessages}" var="msg" >
<apex:column width="15%" >        
  <apex:facet name="header">
  <b>
    <apex:commandLink action="{!orderInbox}" value="Subject" rerender="message,inbox" >
      <apex:param assignTo="{!orderedBy}" name="theOrderedBy" value="msg.name" />
    </apex:commandLink>
  </b>
  </apex:facet>
  <apex:outputField value="{!msg.name}" />
</apex:column>
</apex:pageBlockTable>

Your code worked for me when I removed <b> </b> tags.
 
 If this is not the case please could you please supply your complete <apex:pageBlock></apex:pageBlock> content.
