Abstract
A table display presents animation to show changes in sorting and/or filtering criteria, providing users with visual references about the sorting operation and illustrating relationships between data elements before and after sorting, including data that was off-screen prior to sorting. A table presents a portion of a data element set arranged according to a first sorting criteria, such as the data field value in each data element. Upon receiving a second sorting criteria, a new arrangement of the data elements visible in the table is determined. Animation data is determined to specify the motion of visible and non-visible data elements from their locations under the first sorting criteria to their locations under the second sorting criteria. The transition animation is then initiated to show the movement of data elements from their locations under the first sorting criteria to their locations under the second sorting criteria.
