https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter has multiple sorting using the shift key. I alternate between this and DataTables.

  Here's an example of what you have to do in datatables to get the elements displayed around the table itself styled (such as a search bar, pagination, or table meta information) https://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/basic_init/dom.html https://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/basic_ini... So, in order to adjust the styling of DOM elements around the datatable, you need to understand a very specialized form of syntax that one particular property that controls all DOM element layouts accepts as a string. And there's only one example. How is that sane?

    I don't find this a problem at all. What's indeed a problem is that it enforces a wrapper div that you cannot control using this syntax. Furthermore, plugins such as ColVis tend to be inflexible due to that wrapper.

    To control the structure of whats put in the DOM your are going to need something that looks like a template - so it's never going to be pretty and as soon as you choose any approach to templating it's probably going to upset a lot of people. I agree that the syntax is a bit on the terse side - but it's not "insane" and at least it is there, logical and documented.
