I would like to see sorters in the users' table. So far they are sorted by name by default and it can't be changed.
I would even go further and see it "page'able". I think it should be implemented with involvement of server. Client should request for a "frame" of x users starting if user no. y sorted by a given column. If the result is not paged that we may think about sorting in the the client site. But I believe displaying and sorting 5000 of users will probably hang your browser.

If some API supports paging, it should also accept sorting parameters. If not, sorting should be done on the client side. Even if some API supports paging, but it returns one page only (because the list of items is small), sorting should be done on the client side.
