HTML Table Auto Sort

Download extension

Clicking on <th> tags reorders rows of an HTML table in ascending/descending order.### The Important Stuff ###

When enabled, clicking on a table header ("<th>") will reorder the table based on the values belonging to that column of the table. Order is ascending/descending, click to toggle.

### Verbose ###

Tables are clean and great for displaying information - when that information is ordered, at least. It is frustrating to search through a disorganized table, and not much better when the table is ordered using a bad index.

Suppose I am looking through a contact list for a friend and the list is ordered by last name as opposed to first name. If I'm sitting there looking for his first name, I'm going to have a bad time. This extension changes all of that. Every single table posted online can now be easily resorted at the click of the mouse, just as it would in a spreadsheet.

And best of all, this extension is open source! Feel free to fork and/or contribute.
