Is it possible to have sortable tables for wiki-style posts? This may be outside the scope of the “civilized discussion” mandate, but would be useful as an common information source that is built at the beginning of the thread and referenced for the rest of the discussion.

maybe you could embed a google sheet for this purpose?

No, it is not. Google Docs oneboxes caused significant issues that could not be worked around (loading a topic with a google sheet would jump the user to the post, sometimes repeatedly).
