Description

The data table currently displays rows in their storage order with no way to sort. Adding clickable column headers for client-side sorting (on the current page of results) would be a useful improvement for browsing data.

Scope: Frontend-only change in app.js. Sort the currently displayed page of rows in the browser, no backend changes needed. Could add sort indicators (▲/▼) to column headers.
