Our site is 70% mobile/30% desktop. So I build tables with a mobile-first view. However, it drives me crazy that I can design one page that works equally well on both platforms. I like the side scrolling on mobile where the first column is frozen. But, as you can see by desktop image, doing this to mobile, jacks up and super shrinks the desktop table for no reason. Please help me get a full width desktop view AND a side scrolling mobile view.
Unrelated: Is there a way to shortcode a table selector on one page? So the user selects a table based on the table name in a filter to show that table.
Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

1. In regards to the table layout for mobile and desktop;
our developers are still working to add a "freeze first column" feature,
( it should be finished as built-in option very soon, we will add it to one of the upcoming updates)
so i assume you added custom CSS and possibly JS to achieve a customized solution for that?
Could we take a look at the back-end setup of this table?
Please provide me a temporary WP-admin (administrator) user for your site where this happens, so we could log in and take a look ‘from the inside’ as that’s the most efficient way to see and resolve the issue.
We do not interfere with any data or anything else except for the plugin (in case that’s a production version of the site), and of course, we do not provide login data to third parties.
You can write credentials here just check PRIVATE Reply so nobody can see them except us.

In regards to the desktop width, not sure if i understood, you need to expand the width of the table across the page, since i see it is "narrow" from your screenshots?
I can't find this table in the related URL, could you send us the URL where you have the table?
2. In regards to a table selector on a page,
we do not have anything like that at the moment - you can only set up the table shortcode as Admin from back-end, and this is the table that will be on the page.
to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there, and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.
You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;
and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.
