User Rating

14/15

A 96 out of 100 rating across 29 reviews is excellent and signals strong user satisfaction, though the small sample size limits broader statistical confidence.

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved gives no measurable evidence of support responsiveness, resulting in a middling support health score.

What It Does

Table Sorter transforms standard HTML tables in your WordPress content into interactive, sortable tables without requiring custom JavaScript or shortcodes. Users can click column headers to reorder rows by ascending or descending values, making static data tables immediately more useful for visitors.

Who It's For

This plugin suits site owners publishing tabular data such as pricing comparisons, sports stats, real estate listings, research results, or inventory records where readers benefit from reordering rows themselves. It works well for non-technical publishers who just need to drop a plain HTML table into a post and have it become sortable.

Who Should Skip It

If you already use TablePress for table creation and management, this plugin adds little since TablePress includes its own sorting features. Sites needing pagination, filtering, search, or CSV export should look at a more full-featured table plugin instead.

The Bottom Line

Table Sorter is a lightweight, well-maintained utility that does one thing well: making HTML tables sortable with zero configuration. The high user rating and recent update are strong positives, while the tiny support footprint and modest install count mean you are relying on a smaller project than category leaders. For simple sorting needs on existing tables, it is a strong pick; for anything beyond sort, look elsewhere.
