I'd want to be sure that all the browsers used by my audience handled the above properly.


I would only want to do this if that was my requirements. I prefer to do the work my boss or client wants not just whatever I feel like. Java script is poor solution because of the maintenance requirement. It's as a bad a solution as stored procedures. Sure you have to do it some times but avoid it whenever you can. I hate javascript because of the long term costs in maintence. The less java script I have the more maintainable system it is.

Then when they clicked a new sort of the table, the browser would go and get a new xslt file, apply it to the xml file and produce a new table that is sorted correctly. I liked this approach better.
 
 It is more current. And the XML/XSLT files can be sent to unrelated applications. OTOH, Javascript is well-established. I'd want to be sure that all the browsers used by my audience handled the above properly.
