Description

We're considering Blueprint for a upcoming project, and is currently inspecting the various components. A good and feature rich table component is very important for us, but the blueprintjs/table isn't exactly what we're after, because it's more of a spreadsheet. Instead the table should have a simpler and cleaner look like HTMLTable, but needs order, filter and paging, and maybe even support for freezing rows and columns.

The antd Table component is a good example.

My question is how you'd approach this problem for Blueprint, or if anyone has implemented such functionality? Would you restyle blueprintjs/table, or add functionality to the HTMLTable component? Any suggestions?

Research direction
The issue requests a feature rich table component with sorting, filtering, and paging. Blueprint currently has an HTMLTable component (simple) and a Table component (spreadsheet like). The scope is large and no maintainer guidance is provided. A newcomer should first review the existing components in the Blueprint codebase, particularly the table package (src/components/table) and HTMLTable (src/components/html table), and then propose a design that aligns with Blueprint's API patterns. However, this issue is unlikely to be suitable for a first time contributor due to its complexity and lack of direction.
