 * I have a standalone installation of wordpress for my lodge website. I am creating
   a page that lists “past leaders”. On this page will be 2 columns. Col 1 will 
   be the year they served (e.g. 2017-2018) and Col 2 will be their name (e.g. Wade
   Wilson). Trouble is, I am going back over 100 years. So there will be A LOT of
   lines. But that isn’t the problem.
 * My end goal is to have links at the top, that allow the viewer to sort by year(
   0-9 and 9-0), and then sort by name (A-Z and Z-A). I would also like to have 
   links to show only by certain decades (e.g. 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010).
 * In my old PHP days, I would put all of this into mySQL and then just run my queries
   and sort as needed. But I have since converted to WordPress, and for most questions,
   I have found a plugin to do what I needed. Except this.
 * Anyone have a suggestion on how to accomplish this? If you would like to see 
   a basic idea of the page, it can be seen at
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsearchable-sortable-table%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
