take a look at YUI Datatable

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/datatable/

it's pretty advanced stuff, but with enough reading and google searching it's learnable.

The only real way to get "dynamic" data in the table is to build something yourself (extremely difficult) or use something premade (YUI) which is a bit easier.

One DIY method would be excel, export to html. Cut and past that table into your site. Otherwise you have to get into programming PHP or the like.

well, right now i have a excel spreadsheet that does it. it doesnt automatically put them in order but definitely makes it easier and adds it all up. i just thought maybe it can be built into the webpage to skip the excel step. its just a pain in the ass doing it for 10 classes

Excel is perfect for sorting stuff. Select the cells you want to sort including the label above them- then Data>sort

i just realized you can save an excel file as a webpage. i think that just what im looking for. do you need excel on your computer to read it if its uploaded?

No - excel will "save a web page" that will work on any browser - no need for the end user to have excel at all - at that point it's just like any other web page.
