    <p>Yes, I know there are a <strong>lot</strong> of JS/jQuery programs out there to do this. I'm currently using <a href="http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/sorttable.js">http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/sorttable.js</a> . It's very easy: just a JS file, add a few class attributes to your table, and you're off. In particular, you don't actually need to know JS to use it, and you can add custom sort keys without needing to write your own JS to extend it. I like it a lot for those two reasons. The main problem: my table is ~9300 rows long, and sorting takes 10-20 seconds. So I'm wondering, are any other scripts out there faster than this? These are the ones I've found:</p> <p><a href="http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/sortabletable/sortabletable.html">http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/sortabletable/sortabletable.html</a> (Not even sure what this uses)<br> <a href="http://tablesorter.com/docs/">http://tablesorter.com/docs/</a> (Really really nice, but not easy to extend, requires knowing JS/jQuery) <a href="http://flexigrid.info/">http://flexigrid.info/</a> (Overkill, I just need a table sorter, not a whole data manipulation program)<br> <a href="http://datatables.net/">http://datatables.net/</a> (Overkill, requires Js/jQuery to extend)</p> <p>I'm sure there's 5000 other programs that can do what I want, but I don't have the time to figure out and test them all to see if they're fast. Thus I'd like to know if someone out there on StackOverflow can point me to whichever library they know to be fast, so I only have to figure out how to use one program.</p> <p>(Btw, I've seen Java sort hundreds of thousands of numbers in milliseconds with quicksort; does anyone know what algorithm JS.sort() uses?)</p>

    1. COyou tagged this with jquery but it sounds like you want to avoid taking that dependency... which way is it?

    2. COSure, java can sort *numbers* quickly, but you're sorting the *DOM*. DOM operations are slow. Your issue starts with 9300 rows in a HTML table. I'd sort it server side. But if you don't want to do that, perhaps storing the data in a JS object, sorting, and re-rendering the table every time would be quicker.

    3. CO@Robert: Yes, I'd like to avoid it, but I'll take anything that's fast and learn JQuery if that's necessary.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
