DataTables
Datatables is an extremely full-functioned Javascript library that massively expands the functionality of HTML tables.
This includes sorting by column, searching, expanding data rows, pagination, events and more.
While it can be used on a simple HTML table to great effect it also includes very adaptable AJAX request / insertion code that can turn a flat table into a dynamic data access point.
In fact many years ago I scratched together an extremely versatile PHP script that essentially surfaces information from database tables (SECURELY I might add) to simply put information you have on file, onto your page. I've rolled it out on a couple of occasions to general satisfaction.
I've been using DataTables since May 2012 (13 years).
