User can sort the column by using the double arrows next to the table heading title Table rows have an odd/even background. They can have action buttons on the right side of the table.

When they do, we use - the down arrow for collapsed rows - the up arrow for expanded rows Some tables might have filters / search functionnalities to help users navigate inside the data. Those fonctionalities are displayed on top of the table headings Tables display 10 items by default.
