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?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing HTMLTable component and consider adding sorting, filtering, pagination, and frozen rows/columns functionality, possibly by customizing the existing table or creating a new component inspired by antd Table.
