This page could be much more useful with standard adjustments to the table. The page currently shows an unsortable table of less than half the world's countries without a clear justification or motivation for why they are included and others are not. Also it leads with columns that are mostly empty and highly removed from present economic conditions. And row numbers based only on alphabetical order of the arbitrarily included countries are used for no apparent reason. But crucially the table cannot be sorted in the present revision. Mobile users cannot really compare countries with this page at all if their browsers will not zoom out to show every column.

It may seem bizarre to use reverse chronological order for the columns. If so, at least the most recent year in the compiled series should appear next to the country name.
