How easy would it be to add an index ? (Question)

[StephaneKazmierczak]

Hello, I am trying to use the table as an input table for my app.

My users need to fill a 'table like' layout that correspond to biologic experiments inside a plate. The only thing that I am missing with the current table is to show an index column with some letters A to H. I have 0 experience with react.js and was wandering how hard/easy would it be ? I am also looking to disable the column sorting functionality if possible.

You can disable column sorting by setting passing sortable=False.

Adding an index is straight forward, just create the index yourself inside Python. The only problem is that the index would be editable if the rest of the table is editable (you can ignore any edits a user might make to the index, but it might lead to user confusion). I don't believe there's currently a way to only have certain columns be editable.
