I'm thinking about trying to implement sortable tables in mediawiki. I'd probably try to make the table headers pass some parameter through to the rendering engine by attaching some &T1=col1 or something similar to the URL.
Any opinions? Great idea? Stupid idea? Someone else working on something similar?

It can be done client side using javascript. Have a look at some examples: http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/sortabletable/demos.html
Pro: _ datas are requested from server only once _ cpu usage is client side
Con: _ javascript
