you may have add appropriate column header column.

note:

(a) being core joomla! file, instead of editing file directly, suggest using html output override technique. review of following documents of help:
http://docs.joomla.org/how_to_override_the_output_from_the_joomla!_core
http://docs.joomla.org/understanding_output_overrides

(b) template using may have override file. if case, have edit file. make sure take copy of file before editing it.
