Add Select Element Outside of Table for a Hidden Column?

Wondering if it's possible to add a Select element that will filter based on a hidden column to the prefix of the table (i.e., where the default Show x Entries / Search all columns are found)?

Been going through the documentation and forums, but haven't been able to find this one feature. Does it exist? Is it possible?

    Sure - use the fnFilter API method. Built your select menu as required and add an event handler for the 'change' event on it - then call fnFilter to apply the required filter to the table.
