In datatables.js it is possible to make headers (and footers) sticky, so when user scrolls down a large table, he will always see the column heading/footer:

We do have it planned, but our development team hasn't started working on that feature yet, so I cannot say when it will be implemented. This is kind of a sensitive feature, because a lot of themes use the same logic, and we've had some issues with that when we first started to work on the feature.

Hi guys,
In datatables.js it is possible to make headers (and footers) sticky, so when user scrolls down a large table, he will always see the column heading/footer:
https://datatables.net/extensions/fixedheader/
When a table is larger than the page height it is an essential, often requested feature.
Do you have plans adding it? If so can you give a tentative period when we might expect it to be rolled out?
Thanks in advance
Christof
