                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-1152
             Project: Tapestry
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Contrib
    Affects Versions: 5.0
            Reporter: john


We have a Table component in contrib in 4.0. But I don't like that component. 
It's both too complex and not page designer friendly.

Say I'm the page designer. Adjusting the table looks is my work, but it's not 
easy to do it in 4.0. The adjusting includes column sizes, the column colors, 
etc. 

Loop will work well in this situation. But it lacks the column sorting and 
other things. So I'd like the new Table component works much the same way like 
Loop, but with additional functionalities like column-name-click -sorting, 
maybe column location exchanging, etc.

BTW, I think that the page designer friendly is a large scale feature. It may 
affect many components. I care about this feature very much. It helps me very 
much to make it possible for the page designer to do their work separately. And 
It's quite convenient to transform the prototype pages to development page 
templates. Off course, Tapestry has done much on this point. Maybe it's the 
most page designer friendly web framework I've ever seen. But I don't see it in 
any documents. Is it a feature that Tapestry provides as a core value or just 
an additional benefits.
