Default Sortable Tables

Zackmann08 had mentioned about modifying our current table format for weapons and actor pages to a version where the boxes are sortable. A sortable template is already made and can be seen in this actor's page (I've now modified it to look a little more like our current table format):

This definitely would be beneficial for the gun pages, but I noticed it takes a little bit longer to load and not sure if users will understand what the sortable icon is for.


Would like to get thoughts from admins and users on this before a change is completely made.

I think it is a good idea for the gun pages, and users probably have encountered similar tables before while browsing Wikipedia. It also resolves (to an extent) the problem of users not knowing how to place entries in a particular order. My only concern is how it would affect tables with "rowspan=" would it mess up the formatting in those cases?

Personaly i think its worth it to ditch the rowspan in some cases to get the sortable feature.
