I took a quick look at the script although I don't pretend to understand it yet. At the bottom I saw reference to AJAXers but it doesn't look to have any of that built in if I read it correctly. I wonder how you can deal with something like the list of all open and closed cases, sorting something like that without calling for more data would be counter-intuitive to how Pika does things now. I also don't think I have looked into Pika's pager enough to have a great grasp of how it works now anyway. But one area I think this sortable table could make an immediate difference with is in reporting. You wouldn't need to re-run a report to change the sort order and it would be very user friendly since something from the mega report or virtually any custom report shows all the results at once with no pager.
