    For anyone who wants to implement this, please _don't_ implement it like the GIF. <https://github.com/mkoryak/floatThead/blob/master/README.md> Instead, do what mobile web browsers do, where the header is automatically revealed and overlaid onto the content when scrolling up. On desktop, you can make it so the headers are also revealed when mousing around over the relevant data. But indiscriminately reducing the size of the viewport by going sticky is incredibly annoying.

    I've used float.Thead, but it does not offer fixed columns, and doesn't have any sorting functionality.
