Tabular data in table form is very common in web sites and web applications, a common requirement being the manipulation of table data on the client side. It is a better alternative than going back to the server, to sort, filter etc.

Here are some key features of the library that I found on JavaScript Toolbox.

- Fast Sorting due to a number of optimizations
- Rowspan and Colspan in headers that do not confuse the code
- Alternate row colors, handled by re-shading after sorting or filtering
- Tbody contents are handled separately, so there can be separate sortable sections of a table
- Easy CSS classes are applied to cells after filtering, sorting, etc which you can hook into from your CSS rules to show the sorted column or the cells which are filtered.
