Data Demarcation?

ReadingTheTable

When a column is sorted, I am looking for a way to demarcate that column's data. For example if the numbers in the sorted column are [1,1,1, 2,3,4,4,6] the following # columns would have a different style/font [1#,1, 1, 2#, 4#, 4, 6#]. Likewise to do the same with dates, for a new day I would want to display it differently, the rest of same days in the sorted columns would be displayed as normal. Is there a way to do this using DataTables? Thanks for reading.

Its definitely possible. One option is to use the RowGroup extension.

Changing 1 to 1# might not work well as it is updating the cell data. You can highlight the first cell using color. See this example:

Note the CSS I added in the CSS tab to apply the CSS to the Datatables cells.

The following API's and options are used in the example:

order()
rows().every()
row().node()

rowCallback
order

The selector-modifier of {page: 'current'} is used to keep the loop to just the rows displayed.
