Paste that sorted table (or just the selected columns of interest) directly into the visual editor.
The table will have two columns, with column 1 twice (2×) the width of column 2. A border of 2px (1px width on each side) corresponds to a 5%. Therefore, with a 2px border, the width needs to be 95% for the table to fit within the screen.
