What this video covers
A data table arranges records in rows and columns so they can be scanned, compared and reordered along any field. Its power is alignment: shared columns let the eye run straight down a value to compare like with like, and sorting reorders the whole set to answer "which is biggest, newest, cheapest?" in one click.
One click on a column header and the whole set reordered to answer your question - highest score, then lowest, in an instant. That's the table doing what only a table does: line values up in a column so they compare at a glance, then sort to rank them. Take away the alignment and you've just got a list.
