Column names could be sticky and visible on long datatables, for easy data vis.png

See attached screenshot for a clearn example of how useful it will be, when investigating Site Search results and looking at top 100 searches.

I think this one can be closed @mattab ?

Sticky column headers is not implemented yet. But it's not a priority or a major issue compared to the rest and we could close it. we could maybe even close all issues in the Backlog milestone... (to be discussed)

Yeah just seeing now it's actually not implemented. For some reason thought you''d scroll within a widget... could be maybe easily solved not sure.

If it would be enough to support modern browsers except of IE we maybe could try using position: sticky. See https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-sticky

mentioned it here as well sticky be fine

for tables sticky will also work soon in webkit/chrome etc https://web.dev/compat2021/#css-position:-sticky

if there is an unexpected complexity (causing it to take > 2 days) in making this work please reach out.

Note: The merge PR enables sticky headers only for datatables that fit in the available space. For tables that need a horizontal scroll bar, sticky header will not work. Not sure if we want to create a follow up issue to check if we can use javascript to make sticky headers also work for such cases.
