Sort all the things!

We need to make more of the things sortable! @MeghanUX, what are all the things you want to get sorted?

Seems like the easiest way to resolve this issue is to apply sorting directly on the client via: https://datatables.net/ (jquery dependent, full featured, heavy) or http://github.hubspot.com/sortable/ (no dependencies, simple, getting a bit longer in the tooth)

Is there an option to push all data directly to the client and paginate there or should we maintain server-side pagination?

Ideally, we should keep server-side pagination - sending all the data to the client at once is not such a great solution once your dataset starts getting larger.

From @MeghanUX in #73:

On "Status - All Requests" page - these filter/sort options:

• date submitted
• ID number
• who submitted it
• from language
• to language
• who translated it (or, who it is assigned to)
• status (pending, completed, unassigned, ...)

Reply from @ArtOfCode- in #73:

If I could, I would willingly include every field we have in the database in every table. However, once you go over about 5-6 columns, especially if any of them are lengthy, there just isn't enough space on a screen. This is coming from a guy with a big screen, too, so I can imagine it's only worse on smaller screens or mobile.

I'm quite happy to change some of the info that's in the table, if there are more important fields we could be showing instead, but I don't want to add any additional columns - that's what the details view is for.
