Dynamic Table 1.0

The ability to sort a table by a column is a common request and the most implemented solution is to send a request back to the server requesting a new page containing the sorted table. Dynamic Table is a DHTML widget that allows client side sorting of your data tables.



With Dynamic Table you can make any data table sortable with just one script include and one call to an initialization function. After the call the table will can be sorted by clicking on any of the table headers. Because Dynamic Table sorts at the client side it removes unneccessary load on the server and reduces bandwidth usage while at the same time providing near instantaneous response times for the user.



As an added bonus Dynamic Table also allows the user to hide/show the columns they want to see. This can be a real boon in tables with many columns where only a small subset of the data is required.
