For tables my favorite jQuery plug-in is: https://datatables.net/

Have a page with some tables? A few lines of jQuery and you have search sorting etc. It can be customized but defaults are fine.

This is how abstractions and progressive enhancement should be done.

I’m not even sure what I used, it’s the same 5 lines I’ve used for years. Boom bang and on to the next problem.

For every unicorn saas webapp $300k a year developers are writing there’s a thousand small pages. If you’re building a house you aren’t going to use a Swiss Army knife, but if you’re camping out for a couple of days you aren’t going to take a van full of power tools.

A couple.of well selected power tools are certainly helpful, however. A battery blower to start the fire, a small electric chainsaw for any wood cutting depending on the area and what you take in, and a portable fan if you're in a hot climate. Sometimes a couple of selected power tools are very helpful.

Weird analogy. I’ve camped my whole life, never once brought a power tool.

I personally prefer https://sortablejs.github.io/Sortable/ over datatables.net

Though both do what I typically need them to do, customising datatables.net takes me a bit more time though

Big plus is, it also gives yo the option to export the tables to pdf and other file formats.
