SortableTable

This package is very similar to (and draws most of the insipiration from) Evan's Sortable Table package. However this package allows you to perform an external command on sort/re-sort as necessary. While Evan's sortable table is does the sorting for you with the data in memory, this will not work for a sufficienty large dataset that requires pagination from the server.

The SortableTable's view function takes a table config and SortState that again is very simlar to Evan's with a few tweaks. For instance, the Config requires a (msg -> SortState) function that describes a Msg that will be fired containing the new SortState that will allow you to perform additional request etc. as needed.

Please take a look at the documentation in the SortableTable module. As well as the small example. Additionaly there is a small example below.
