Is it possible to hide an empty column or columns when a particular filter is selected? For example, a table has ten columns with geographical data sorted by a country column. I search for a particular country, and that particular country only has 5 columns that have data inside them, the other five columns are empty. The filter would then only display the 5 columns with data and would ignore the other five that are empty - and not display these empty columns.
If I select a different country, and that country has different three columns filled with data, it only displays those columns, and ignores the other seven.
The overall table has 10 columns but only the relevant columns appear based on the filter selected.
Is this possible? Any help appreciated. Thanks. John.
I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this cannot be achieved with the plugin's built-in features.
We have something like this planned for the future, but I cannot say when that will be implemented. Our developers are very busy working on some priority tasks at the moment, so adding new features is postponed until those are resolved.

Thanks Aleksandar.
I'll try a workaround using your URL sorting feature.
So far in my tests the plugin works great. Looking forward to furture releases.
Cheers,
John
