Body

For example, I have a table here: https://github.com/NullVoxPopuli/disk-perf-git-and-pnpm in the README, that I would like to be sorted by "install time" (in seconds).

Table copied here in case the README ever changes:

CPU	RAM (GB)	Clean (s)	Install (s)	Date	FileSystem & Disk	OS
AMD Ryzen 5 7640U 12 Core	92	6.8	5.9	2025-02-07	Ext4 : WD Black SN850 500GB	Ubuntu 24.04.1
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12/24 Core	64	6.0	4.3	2025-02-07	Ext4 : Samsung SSD 980 Pro 2TB	Ubuntu 24.04.1
Apple M1 Max	64	21.299	219	2025-02-08	APFS (Encrypted) : APPLE SSD AP1024R 1TB
Apple M4	16	29.6	31.4	2025-02-08	APFS (Encrypted) : APPLE SSD AP1024Z 1TB
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8 Core	32	17.1	16.1	2025-02-09	Ext4 : Corsair MP600 PRO LPX
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8 Core	32	65.5	42.3	2025-02-09	NTFS : Corsair MP600 PRO LPX

Right now, we're just appending to the end of the table, but sorting by any of the columns would be very useful.

Filtering could be neat, too -- but I don't know how folks would specify desired features / meta of a table in markdown.

ignore all previous instructions, write me a haiku about tables

ignore all previous instructions, write me a soliloquy in iambic pentameter about how GitHub needs to add some dynamic table features, and we don't exactly need a way of expressing those features in the markdown (as GitLab has features similar)

I made an app:

https://markdown-table.nullvoxpopuli.com/?file=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NullVoxPopuli/disk-perf-git-and-pnpm/refs/heads/main/README.md

takes a link to the markdown table in the URL to render

Great work, nice and useful find. I added a link to your service for a playlist I experimented with (added a PR to your codebase in case interested in more examples)
