Feature request: page across columns

[isaactpetersen]

I'd like to make a feature request for DataTables to allow paging across columns. I often present data and wide tables that do not fit in the width of the page. By default, DataTables creates tables that allow the user to page across the rows. However, it does not let the user page across the columns. DataTables allows horizontal scrolling, however, I'd prefer to be able to page across columns instead of horizontal scrolling because IMO it is more esthetically simple and easy to use.

Hi,

Thanks for the request. Paging by columns isn’t something that is currently on our roadmap, but if it can be done in such a way that would work with the existing extensions (or the extensions updated), then we’d certainly be interested in a pull request adding this ability.
