When you program a list of widgets you can program it against anything though. Whether its xml or html.

Okay, let's say I have a list of widgets that's in an HTML table. How do I sort the list if I don't want to use Javascript or install some programming language on the web server I'm using (let's say I'm using shared hosting and don't have admin access)? I could sort it by hand, but then I'd need to re-do the whole list if I decided to sort it by another column for some reason. And then if I wanted to add entries, I'd have to insert them by hand into their appropriate place and hope that I don't make a mistake
