This is not a table in the html sense.
A html-table has the cell as the smallest element.
So you are probably using tables inside tables.

I would put all data in a database and build the differently sorted 
phonebook from scratch after each sort-request.

======= 

Serverside?

Preferably I would do this serverside, as serverside there are much more 
elaborate options of database sorting, and either renew the html-page on 
every sort-request, or get the content with an Ajax call.

======= 

Clientside?

However you could do all this with clientside javascript using objects 
and/or arrays as a database, and rebuilding the table-system with 
javascript DOM-functions. 
Even then index-arrays for the different sort-options could be prepared 
serverside, if the phonebook is clientside-static.

======= 

table1.style.display = 'none'; 
table2.style.display = 'block'; 

If you have only 2 sort-options you could build 2 table-systems of which 
only one is displayed at a time, switchable with an onclick in the table 
header. Diffferent bolding and colouring of columns is even simpler then.
