Business function pages should list databases in sortable tables

[jpvelez]

The business function pages on metalicious do a great job listing the databases available within each corner of the city. But the tool overall is still oriented around search.

• In order to increase the browse-ability of the site, it would be awesome to have those databases in table so you could sort them by views, number of tables, department, installation year, and so on.
• The default sort could be set to views, so you get the most relevant stuff first.
• To give people context about what these databases actually do, you could display the database description as a column in this table or a tooltip that would appear when you hover over the row.
• Datatables is a great library that makes all of this easy to do, and you can skin it with Bootstrap styles.

To crystallize this idea further, do you think it would be sensible to deploy this as a sortable list for all databases?

I really like the tooltip idea.
