Sticky columns with horizontal scrolling

[ajirnyi]

Is it possible to have a sticky column in a table that has horizontal scrolling, a la kableExtra (except the main issue with their approach is that it's not IE compatible).

Yes, see here for a couple examples: https://glin.github.io/reactable/articles/examples.html#sticky-columns

These examples are still based on position: sticky, however, so they won't work in IE 11. For an IE11-compatible solution, you might be able to achieve something through position: absolute, but I haven't looked into it.

Sticky columns are now built into reactable in the dev version:

• Sticky columns are now supported using a new sticky argument in colDef() and colGroup() (#19, #72, #141).

It's still not compatible with IE11, but IE11 compatibility is gradually becoming less of an issue with its upcoming end of support.
