Responsive example Column controlled child rows

Responsive has two built in methods for displaying the controlling element of the child rows; inline which is the default option and shows the control in the first column, and column which set a control column as the control. The control column is shown only when there is some other column hidden, and is dedicated only to the show / hide control for the rows.

This example shows the responsive.details.typeR option set to column to activate the control column. Note that by default the first column is used as the control, so additionally in the initialisation the orderDT and columns.orderableDT options are used to disable sorting on this column.
