I know this has been requested before, I am wondering if it will be possible in the near future to have Scrolling of table data enabled at the smae time as re-ordering and re-sizing of list table columns.
On large tables, it is very convenient to keep the column headings visible but to lose the re-ordering functionality is a compromise.
Thank you
Jon

Hi Jon,

As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, PHPRunner does not natively support the simultaneous functionality of fixed column headers (for scrolling purposes) while allowing users to reorder and resize columns in a list table. However, this is a common request among PHPRunner users, and the development team often takes user feedback into consideration for future updates.

To achieve a similar effect, some developers implement custom JavaScript or CSS solutions to fix the header while still allowing other functionalities. If you're comfortable with coding, you might explore options like using a combination of jQuery plugins (such as DataTables) that support fixed headers and column reordering.

I recommend checking the PHPRunner forums or their official documentation for any updates or workarounds that the community or the development team may have shared since my last update. You can also consider submitting a feature request directly to the PHPRunner team if you haven't done so already.

If you have specific implementation questions or need help with a workaround, feel free to ask!
