Siim,
You can do this with a combination of XML and XSL. I remember a demo
from Microsoft's XML area that did exactly what you ask: Click a column
and have it sort. I believe it was an example having to do with Stock
listings. Basically XSL lets you use come programming/looping constructs
when displaying data from an XML file. The downside is that it currently
only works with IE 5 and greater. It might not be the best overall
solution, but if you are looking at the issue from a "can it be done"
point of view, then yes, it can actually be done. It just might not be
usable.
