Tabular bibliography. Biblatex

Question

I need to output the bibliography as a table. Example:

My biblatex Style Biblatex-Gost

\RequirePackage[style=gost-authoryear,% Base Style authoryear 
            backend=biber,%
            bibencoding=utf8,%
            texencoding=utf8,%
            hyperref=true,%
            sorting=none,               
            mcite=false, 
            doi=false, 
            singletitle=true, 
            labeltitle=true, 
            uniquename=true]{biblatex}
@Reference{QR_160D,

      heading        = {QR---160D},
      hyphenation    = {russian},
      title          = {Environmental conditions and test procedures for airborne equipment}
}
@Reference{ASTM_D2196_18,

      heading        = {ASTM D2196---18},
      hyphenation    = {russian},
      title          = {Standard Test Methods for Rheological Properties of Non-Newtonian Materials by Rotational Viscometer}
}

I am currently using this setting, but how to add the output of the horizontal lines of the table in it, I can not understand.

    \DeclareSourcemap{
    \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
        \map{
          \step[fieldsource=heading, final]
          \step[fieldset=shorthand, origfieldval]
        }
    }
}  
\newcommand{\reference}{%
  \par\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{>{\arraybackslash}m{0.30\textwidth}>{\arraybackslash}m{0.65\textwidth}}   
        \printfield{heading}     
      & \printfield{title} \clearfield{heading} \clearfield{title} \clearlist{specdata} \clearfield{pagetotal} %
        \clearfield{year} \clearlist{publisher} \clearlist{location} \clearfield{series} \clearfield{year}%
}
\newcommand{\patchdrivers}{%
  \xpretobibdriver{reference}{\reference}{}{}%
  \xapptobibdriver{reference}{\end{tabularx}}{}{}%  
} 
\defbibenvironment{tablebib}
  { \setlength{\parindent}{0pt}%
    \renewcommand*{\labelnamepunct}{}%
    \patchdrivers}
  {}
  {} 
\newcommand*{\VPprintbibliography}{\printbibliography[env=tablebib]}

My biblatex-ext bundle contains the package biblatex-ext-tabular that can be used to typeset tabular bibliographies. The code in the bundle is based on Audrey's code from tabular bibliography with biblatex, but bundling it up in a package means it is easier to use.

Here is a very simple definition that just prints header and title of your @reference entries. For more complex definitions have a look at the biblatex-ext documentation (§6 Tabular Bibliographies in v0.12).

     \textbf{Standard designator} & \textbf{Name}\
     \hline

In response to further comments and questions.

I don't think it is possibly to sort by keywords (and since keywords are internal markers, I think it would be tricky to sort by keywords anyway, plus they have a very particular semantic: e.g. if you give multiple keywords for the same entry, order should not matter, but it would for sorting). But it is possible to cook up sorting based on keywords with a Biber sourcemap. In this case, however, I feel entrysubtype is much more appropriate than keywords for the job, so I used that.
