Sortable data table question
-
I have a standalone installation of wordpress for my lodge website. I am creating a page that lists “past leaders”. On this page will be 2 columns. Col 1 will be the year they served (e.g. 2017-2018) and Col 2 will be their name (e.g. Wade Wilson). Trouble is, I am going back over 100 years. So there will be A LOT of lines. But that isn’t the problem.
My end goal is to have links at the top, that allow the viewer to sort by year (0-9 and 9-0), and then sort by name (A-Z and Z-A). I would also like to have links to show only by certain decades (e.g. 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010).
In my old PHP days, I would put all of this into mySQL and then just run my queries and sort as needed. But I have since converted to WordPress, and for most questions, I have found a plugin to do what I needed. Except this.
Anyone have a suggestion on how to accomplish this? If you would like to see a basic idea of the page, it can be seen at
