Hi,
cause Piwik already uses jquery and this will be updated to 1.3x perhaps this nice plugin would be helpful for Piwik!
It’s called DATATABLES, and it is rock-stable.
several advantages if it would be integrated:
-
it’s really easy to integrate! (if you use already the “normal” html Table structure)
-
server side processing OR client side processing (then for the user you got INSTANT sorting etc…)
therefore it is possible to save a lot of mysql queries (of course the first query would be a big one, cause all the data needs to get out of the database)
for the user it is really fast, because of the instant sorting…
Quote from the webpage:

BESIDES:
you could achieve several features like CSV export etc…because there’s also a plugin for that:
Add a toolbar to DataTables enhanced tables which allows the end user to perform actions such as saving files Comma Separated Values (CSV) or Excel (XLS), copying data to system Clipboard, or printing the table.
