4. OPTIONS

revert: false, // smooth revert
dragHandle: '.table-handle', // handle for moving cols, if not exists the whole 'th' is the handle
maxMovingRows: 40, // 1 -> only header. 40 row should be enough, the rest is usually not in the viewport
excludeFooter: false, // excludes the footer row(s) while moving other columns. Make sense if there is a footer with a colspan. */
onlyHeaderThreshold: 100, // TODO: not implemented yet, switch automatically between entire col moving / only header moving
dragaccept: null, // draggable cols -> default all
persistState: null, // url or function -> plug in your custom persistState function right here. function call is persistState(originalTable)

exact: true, // removes pixels, so that the overlay table width fits exactly the original table width
clickDelay: 10, // ms to wait before rendering sortable list and delegating click event
