Ask Freelock: Sortable tables?
Kevin asks,
Is there a Drupal Add On or Widget that would allow users to sort tables as they're displayed on the website?
Hi, Kevin,
Several options here:
Javascript
Progressive Enhancements: Manage data
Websites can do more than "just" present information. Do you have some sort of data management task that involves a lot of manual work?
Using modern Javascript for quick utility scripts - bulk search and replace
With as much Javascript work as we're doing these days, I'm starting to do more and more quick one-off utilities in Javascript. Yesterday I had such a task: update over a hundred different ad slot codes that appeared multiple times in a text file.

Dojo/Javascript Development
We're big fans of the Dojo Toolkit, a Javascript framework that allows you to build rich Internet applications right in the browser. We're impressed with the power and flexibility, and have built several big applications on it in addition to solving lots of small tasks.
We've also used other Javascript libraries, including JQuery, Prototype, Scriptaculous, and several others.
