Since this is repeated a few times, what do you think about moving it to a macro?

Yes I also thought about this but eventually went ahead since I was not sure about the exact file for putting it . I am thinking of adding an additional file in macros for this would that be okay ?

Is JQuery a required dependency of DataTables? These days there's document.querySelector() which can do lots (all?) of the same selection magic as JQuery, so I've been getting away without it.
What do you think?

It seems like JQuery is a required depedency of DataTables however the website provides an example on how you can sort a table without calling into JQuery (it is still a dependency and has to be loaded though)

Actually I have found an alternative solution where jQuery wont be required. It can be found in the following link https://fiduswriter.github.io/simple-datatables/documentation/

Good find! I really like the idea of using a lighter-weight library. Do you think that would be an improvement as well?
Please don't feel obligated to change, I just wanted to make sure JQuery was required for DataTables if we are including it :)

I think we should go for a solution with the lighter-weight library. I feel it would be better choice although it looks a bit different from DataTables with more spaces between the sorting buttons. but yeah if we have an option of choosing a lighter-weight library then maybe we should proceed with it .

Right on, let's do it! Thanks for your input :)
I have added the sort functionality using DataTables. Please have a look at it .
