I haven't done anything with it partially because I don't properly understand it (I don't use bower, and I don't know what webjar is), partially because the actual canonical home for this library is on kryogenix.org, not this github repo (and so people should in general not be coming here for it; this is for bug tracking and code publicity, not to be the place where sorttable lives), and partially because I'm worried that having extra files around will confuse the less technical parts of the userbase. If you're interested in helping me out with some explanations and some alleviation of those worries, then I'm more than happy to listen to your proposals.

Sure, I understand. The short version is that sorttable is very useful as a dependency that you can easily include in gradle or maven. Gradle or maven make downloading dependencies a breeze: I can define that I depend on version, say "2.0.0" of "sorttable" and if you release a new version, instead of downloading a new version of sorttable manually from your website (something that a typical developer will usually not do as a matter of practice), all I have to do is change the "2.0.0" to "2.1.0" and gradle or maven will just get the new dependencies for me as part of a normal build process.

Shorter version: I can use a tool to handle dependencies for me.
