Lots of potential
Ajax Table provides an API that lets you build live tables. You can search, sort, and edit data in the table on the fly.
The module doesn't do anything on its own. The idea is to incorporate its features into your own module. So be warned, if you're not a serious coder, you won't find much of use here.
That said, the module has excellent documentation, including several live examples you can learn from.
Unfortunately, the feature set is not as robust as I hoped. Currently, you can only search or filter the table with input from text boxes (no checkboxes or dropdowns). This means you can't provide any preselected filtering options, you must type in what you're looking for.
Ajax Tables could be used to produce some very powerful administration tools, especially when it comes to editing a table full of nodes on the fly. Interacting with the table is quick and easy. The lack of non-text filtering options currently limits what can be done, but there is very strong potential here.
