New issue 6001 by choicesmade: HTML tables should have a specific  
context-menu to allow opertions like sorting.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6001

Chrome Version       : all versions
URLs (if applicable) : NA

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Navigate to any page with tabular data, for example a sales report
2. Right click on the table

What is the expected result?

Most websites now only use HTML tables for tabular data. It would be nice
to have new items in the context menu when we right click on a table, such
as:

- "Sort by <header name>" when clicking on a column, which would reorder
the rows accordingly.
- "Copy all table to clipboard", because selecting a table is sometimes
tricky.

Even on the occasional website with a table-layout, the extra context menu
can simply be ignored, and will not distub the user.


What happens instead?

The standard context-menu appears. It doesn't contain anything specific to
tabular data. We have to copy the table manually and paste it into a
spreadsheet to do basic operations such as sorting.
