  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  On WordPress.com you can create basic HTML tables by following these instructions:

  If you want to have more control over your tables I suggest embedding Google Sheets spreadsheets:

  The tables already exist in HTML format and while embedding from sheets allows me to make it look differently it doesn’t allow visitors to sort the tables in any way. The ultimate goal would be to allow a visitor to sort the tables or filter them in any way they want.

  For sortable HTML tables you need to use Javascript which is not allowed on WordPress.com:

  as for Google Sheets, I have to look it up and get back to you.
