Site Visitors Filter View
I currently have a page displaying entires for a form at http://www.wavemakersmedia.net/agsssc/the-id-project-list/. This looks exactly how I want it to look; however I want visitors to the site to be able to sort the entries table based on either Name or AGSSSC Assignment #. How do I create a view/table that allows front-end visitors to accomplish this?

I would use the jQuery Datatables tool to provide the functionality. Most of the sites I've used Datatables on are Government or Corporate sites that aren't available to the public, but this site has an example I can show you. Please visit this page and click on the View Members List tab. https://businessleadersclub.com/members/. This is all Formidable entry data with sort and export features enabled.

You have to get jQuery Datatables from here: https://datatables.net/
You really need good jQuery skills to implement this correctly on a Formidable view. It can be a bit of a bear to setup the first time. I've attached the code that sets up the datatable on the page you viewed. This code goes into the view's before content area. It's complicated, but I hope it points you in the right direction. If not, I suggest you look into hiring a developer that can do this for you. You can expect it to take a few hours of effort.
