Alexandre, 1) Great point - I'm going to mess around with having more fixed dimensions. Nothing is fixed vertically and I want to toy around with text wrapping in an individual cell and see how that affects sizing and animation.
2) In the current iteration It seems 500 is the breaking point. The thing that bogs it down is the traversal across the rows with get and set of the cell contents. I want to find faster way to do this for the sake of speed. The animation actually is fast with 500+ rows - it's just re-populating the new sorted set of data. The natural sort itself is super fast - it's still just this per-cell traversal and manipulation. I'll obviously need to sample this on slower machines against all the browsers to guage the speed.
