Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

The table has a css class of jlad_shortcode_table, so you can style it with css, for example:

`

jlad_shortcode_table thead,

jlad_shortcode_table tfoot {

background-color: #000077;

color: #FFFFFF;

}

jlad_shortcode_table tr:nth-child(even) {

background-color: #f2f2f2;

}

jlad_shortcode_table td:last-child {

text-align: center;

width: 20%;

}

jlad_shortcode_table tfoot td:first-child {

text-align: right;

}

`

Creates a table with blue background and white text header/footer rows, zebra stripes on the post list, centers the likes/dislikes column and aligns the “Total” in the footer to the right of the column.
