Hi everyone! Seems like there hasn't been much going on in this issue lately. If there are still questions, comments, or bugs, please feel free to continue the discussion. Inactive issues will be closed after 30 days. Thanks.

Hello! Could please consider this feature in the upcoming releases?
Would be much appreciated. Since we wildly use AnalyticalTable and dont' want to replace it with, say, react-table wrapped with react-table-hoc-fixed-columns HOC.

Thank you!

Hi! @MarcusNotheis Was there any update on this? I see the todo tag has been removed, so I'm wondering. Thank you in advance for the help!

Hey @sieunjang,

this feature request is still on our roadmap. The todo label was only a helper label, so that our stale issue bot is not closing issue. In the meantime we changed the config of our stale issue bot, that's why the todo label was removed.

Apart from that, I think that we will require some more time for this issue, we had tried to implement sticky columns with our current approach but it was really hacky and not performing well. We heard that new version (v8) the underlying react-table library might support sticky columns, so we're currently waiting for a new release there. (we don't have any ETA for the release of react-table).

Thanks for the quick response @MarcusNotheis! That makes sense.

Since, we're on the topic of sticky elements, is there a plan to implement sticky rows by any chance? I had looked into making the first row sticky inside an Analytical Table, but I noticed this below:

The table I'm showing in my video is from here. I saw that the first row with aria-rowindw="0" disappears as I scroll down. So, my attempt to make the first row sticky with css properties wasn't successful because I'm also implementing infinite scrolling (and the table has a fixed height).

Or is there a way to make the first row sticky with a different solution? If you have any insight to share, please let me know! Thank you :)
