We can use the JavaScript library DataTables to generate enhanced tables in HTML. In the example below, we create a table for the mtcars data:
mtcars

Note we assigned an id to the table, and next we use the DataTables library to initialize the table and you will get an interactive table.
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
$('#mtcars-table > table').DataTable();
});
By comparison, below is an ordinary table:
