Selection box positioning with grouping

[ajirnyi]

When both grouping and selection is present, is it possible to control where the selection boxes are (for example, place them in the leftmost column)?

Was intending to ask the same question.

When you have two sticky columns for the selection and grouping, the selection box first moves across the grouping column when scrolling horizontally (i.e., selection column goes from being on the right hand side of the grouping, to the left, by passing in front of the grouping column), with both columns then scroll together (with the selection box on the left and the grouping column on the right).

Would be mitigated if it were possible to force the selection box to the left-hand side, so keen see if this is possible

This isn't possible today, but it's a great suggestion. I'll be reworking how selection and grouping work underneath in the next few months, and will look into making this happen.

The selection column is now the first column in the table in the development version (d9ac371). It should be placed before the groupBy columns and the row details columns. Here's a comparison of before vs. after:

reactable(
  MASS::Cars93[, 1:4],
  selection = "multiple",
  groupBy = "Manufacturer",
  details = function(i) paste("Details for row", i),
  defaultPageSize = 5,
  bordered = TRUE
)

Before:

After:

The row details column could be moved before the groupBy columns as well, so I might do that later.
