Why slow down the user with animation?  Input is blocked until the  
sort is complete.  Personally, I find the animation annoying.  I have  
a relatively fast computer, but it still comes out rather jerky due  
to the large number of elements.  It took several tries before I  
could even notice what the animation was trying to do.  Don't bother  
with animation.  Focus on usability.

There are several sortable table scripts out there.  A decent one is  
at http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/
