Why sort a <table>?

Supply the data in JavaScript, as a "two-dimensional array"
  Arr[[..., ..., ...   ], [...], [...], [...], ... [...]] ;

At need, sort that.  Then remove any existing Table, build the new Table
using DOM methods, and insert the new Table.

That can give the maintainer the possible advantage that the rows of Arr
need not be supplied in any particular order.
