Doug, thanks for your help. I think you're right: I may have to just give
in and do sorting on the server. Too bad.

Even thogh there is no "Real" limit to the amount of data that Javascript
can handle.
You must keep in mind the last partof the word - "script"
As a scripting language Js is completly relient on the capabilities of the
Browser that is interpreting the Script
as well as the Os/Hardware the Browser itself is running on.
While your app may be okay on a DUAL P4 1Ghz with a GIG of ram..
It will most certainly suffer on anything less.
Again the only way to reliably handle 1000 arrays of data (in my humble
opinion)
is to only render those arrays you need.. I know, you need them all.. that
can be a problem.
As for sorting, if you want it any fatser you need to find yourself a 4th
year Computer Math Textbook (or student) to get a more effecient method of
sorting.. I can tell you that the default methods used in most languages are
not even close to being the most efficient.
Another option is to do as you wanted to avoid: Do the more intensive
processing on the server: that's what it's there for.
:-)
