Readers should have the option to sort and filter tables by column.
Tables are the best method for displaying large data sets, but they become difficult for readers to navigate and digest without sorting and filtering.
The settings for the table content block in the Advanced WYSIWYG editor should include an option to enable sorting and an option to enable filtering. This will give users the ability to turn this functionality on for large tables that would benefit from sort/filter capabilities, but avoid cluttering docs with sort/filter buttons when they aren't warranted.
