Quick way to provide search and sorting for HTML tables in ASP.NET MVC applications

In a recent project I had the need to allow the user to sort and filter (search) to a basic HTML table in my ASP.NET MVC application. After evaluating some choices, I found out about a nice pure JavaScript solution named DataTables.

This solution is free to use, and provides nice support for many different features, including localization. I've only used the component a short while, but it looks very promising. Be sure to check it out.
