## What it is
Sortable is a tiny (<2kb min+gzip) JavaScript and CSS library that adds click-to-sort functionality to HTML tables with no dependencies. It works as a drop-in script with several built-in CSS themes and requires only adding a data attribute to table elements.

## Use cases
- make html tables sortable
- add column sorting to a static website table
- sort table rows by clicking headers without a framework
- add sortable tables to a blog or docs site
- lightweight table sorting without jquery

## When to choose
- you want a zero-dependency drop-in script for table sorting
- your site uses plain HTML tables and you need minimal footprint
- you need broad legacy browser support (IE8+)

## When to avoid
- you need advanced table features like pagination, filtering, or virtual scrolling
- you use a component framework and prefer a full data-grid component
- you need actively developed features or frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: tables, sorting, drop-in-script, vanilla-javascript, css-themes
