This is an example of displaying a large set of data results in a grid.  It ultilizes both paging and sorting, both of which can be user defined.  This grid features partial rendering which allows for a more thick-client type feel.  Notice when paging and sorting, only the grid updates.  The entire page doesn't reload like it would on other websites.  Also notice, that the user is able to provide any page number within the results.  Typically, developers only would provide a subset of the page links at once making it difficult to navigate through the results.  The number of results per page can also be modified and this can be set as a user preference that will be retained for each login.
