How many records can you sort/filter/paginate in a web browser


How many records can you sort/filter/paginate in a web browser?

I've successfully implemented client-side sort/filter/paginate with around 2,000 records. Worked great.

Who has gone higher? How far can the client-side approach scale?
Why sort/filter/page on the client?

1. Simpler. Don't need endpoints that support sort/filter/paging.

2. Faster. No HTTP call for sort/filter/etc.

3. No load on the server after the initial fetch.

4. The user doesn't need a reliable connection after the initial fetch.
