Dan Vanderkam has announced a new component dragtable:

Over the past several years, Stuart Langridge’s sorttable Javascript library has found widespread use. It’s easy to see why. Just add class=sortable to a table tag and its column headers automatically support click to sort. Pretty slick.

But sometimes sorting just isn’t enough. What if you want to focus on just one or two of the columns in a table? In a client-side application you could drag the columns you care about next to each other. Why not in a web application?

Enter dragtable. Like sorttable, it teaches HTML tables a new trick through a simple class attribute.

Once you have the JavaScript in place, you can simply add a class="draggable", and you can even work with both via class="draggable sortable"

Take a peak at a test bed, and the open source project.
