Data grid with sortable columns

For AI Agents

Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Free to install.

Best for: Header buttons that step each column through ascending, descending and unsorted, with an arrow

When to use

Admin and back office tables that sort, filter, paginate and select rows
Spreadsheet style editing with cell selection, clipboard and inline edits
Large record sets that need virtualized rows, columns or infinite scroll

When not to use

Headers that also need a menu to shift columns left or right: use the Data Grid Movable Columns example
A short static list of rows with no sorting or paging: use the Table component
Records moved as cards between status columns: use the Kanban component
A folder or category hierarchy with no columns of data: use the Tree component

Agent notes

With manualPagination, pass the server total to useTable as rowCount as well as recordCount, or the page buttons never render
Give useTable a stable getRowId whenever rows can be pinned, reordered or virtualized
Swap DataGridTable for DataGridTableVirtual when rows need virtualization or infinite scroll
