Sortable Table with JQuery

I've been following the Real Estate tutorials and have created a Taxonomy View that displays a table containing the custom fields of the posts that show up for that Taxonomy in the Archive page.

I was wondering if there's a way to make the data sortable by headings using this JQuery plugin or any other one?

If it's possible what's the potential downside of implementing it.

Thanks,

Shelby
