I have a quick question that hopefully someone can help me with. I know there are plenty of options for customizing column order and visibility on the back end, but is that possible to do on the front end as well? My goal is that each user can pick through a list of columns for an existing table, order them however they want, and save that layout for each time they log-in. So for example, when "User1" logs in to look at the "Tanks" table, they want to see columns "A" "B" "C". But on the other hand, when "User2" logs in to look at that same table, they want to see "C" "D" "A". How would I go about doing something like this?
I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.
You can add the "Column Visibility" tool, located in "Table Tools" tab above the table, but that would only allow your customers to select which columns will be visible on front end. When they access the table again, they will see the structure you saved in back-end.
I don't know about other plugins (I doubt that, to be honest), but with custom work, it should be possible.
Our developers are very busy at the moment, working on some priority tasks and fixing bugs and issues with our plugins, so they won't be having the time for custom work in near future.
But we can recommend these services for customization:

Hello Dalton
Thank you for your purchase.

Thats kinda what I had figured. Does anyone have any ideas as far as doing this with another plug-in or even custom code?
Hi again Dalton
I don't know about other plugins (I doubt that, to be honest), but with custom work, it should be possible.
Our developers are very busy at the moment, working on some priority tasks and fixing bugs and issues with our plugins, so they won't be having the time for custom work in near future.
But we can recommend these services for customization:
