Comments
This is an interesting exercise. I wouldn't recommend a sortable table, as the sortability doesn't really work. I'm also not terribly keen on the use of colours, as on tables showing political offices, colour usually shows political party affiliation. Just to let you know, the offices of Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary did not exist until 1782 - the responsibilities were held by the Southern Secretary and the Northern Secretary.

What do you make of the following format proposition? (I haven't put everyone on it, I've just constructed something to give a general idea. It would need a new table every 30 years or so.
1721–1782
Offices:
- PM = Prime Minister
- Ch = Chancellor of the Exchequer
- S = Southern Secretary
- N = Northern Secretary
Ministries:
- 1 = Walpole/Townshend Ministry
- 2 = Walpole Ministry
- 3 = Carteret Ministry
- 4 = Broad Bottom Ministry
- 5 = First Newcastle Ministry
- 6 = Devonshire/Pitt Ministry
- 7 = 1757 Caretaker Ministry
- 8 = Second Newcastle Ministry
- 9 = Bute Ministry
- 10 = Grenville Ministry
- 11 = First Rockingham Ministry
- 12 = Chatham Ministry
- 13 = Grafton Ministry
- 14 = North Ministry
