You can use a jQuery plugin (breedjs) that provides sort, filter and pagination:

HTML:

  

    

      
Name
      
Phone
      
City
      
Speciality
    
  
  

    

      
{{person.name}}
      
{{person.phone}}
      
{{person.city}}
      
{{person.speciality}}
    
  

JS:

$(function(){
  var data = {
    people: [
      {name: 'c', phone: 123, city: 'b', speciality: 'a'},
      {name: 'b', phone: 345, city: 'a', speciality: 'c'},
      {name: 'a', phone: 234, city: 'c', speciality: 'b'},
    ]
  };
  breed.run({
    scope: 'people',
    input: data
  });
  $("th[sort]").click(function(){
    breed.sort({
      scope: 'people',
      selector: $(this).attr('sort')
    });
  });
});
