Default The way tractor/engine listings should work

I use strictly linux and don't know how this will turn out for windows users but I have hacked up a perl script to list "things" the way I think such listings should be done (fast, sortable & filterable on every single field). One of three test domains is tractors and another is engines. If you like the idea then let those brain-dead web sites that don't seem to understand anything know. With JavaSript an webpage commanded colors enabled it should work with most navigators.

and click the nice little red Farmall with caption Sort-Filter-List

Seems to work fine on my system (Dell dimension 2400, Windows XP Home, Google).
Nice layout, could become almost ideal quick reference source.
On the other hand, the comments about other websites could've been couched a little more diplomatically...

Thanks, I could make it more enjoyable and useful if I had the time. Just too many other things to do. Criticism taken (if you meant the posting itself). Boy, I do love that little Farmall! And check out the comments about that or on the Corvair engine site. Nothing pleases me more than to give kudos where due :-)
