Sortable table

importance: 4

Make the table sortable: clicks on <th> elements should sort it by corresponding column.

Each <th> has the type in the attribute, like this:

<table id="grid"> <thead> <tr> <th data-type="number">Age</th> <th data-type="string">Name</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>5</td> <td>John</td> </tr> <tr> <td>10</td> <td>Ann</td> </tr> ... </tbody> </table>

In the example above the first column has numbers, and the second one – strings. The sorting function should handle sort according to the type.

Only "string" and "number" types should be supported.

The working example:

P.S. The table can be big, with any number of rows and columns.
