@bert_hubert @vitaut uff, I was starting to look into why it takes ages for the component tables on an electronics components supplier site to sort a table with ~50 rows and ~20 columns, and my takeaway was not "someone's SQL library needs changes", but "whoever implemented the slowest sort algorithm known to mankind in a manner that needs DOM reparsing a couple ten thousand times instead of sorting the source data should probably have been their computer access revoked".
