Generating a user interface visualizing a table data structure. A table data structure comprising a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns is accessed. A column to use for sorting each row into a different region of the user interface is identified. Region characteristics, usable for matching which row(s) is to be visualized within a corresponding region, are identified. Each region is associated with a different subset of row(s) that are to be visualized within the region. Each subset comprises rows having a value that matches the region characteristics of the associated region at an intersection between the column and the row in the table data structure. A visual representation of each row is displayed within the user interface. The display includes a visual arrangement of each visual representation into a corresponding region. Each visual representation is arranged within the region the row associated with the visual representation belongs.
