Ignore Headers on sort and filtering

Hi All,

Is it possible to ignore header during sorting and filtering?

Here is more info and a demo:

One thing that you will notice is that I am updating the data of the headers without HandsonTable API but rather updating from outside. Long story short we have dropdowns in headers that filter the data on the table similar to what comes out of the box but with some modifications. However when you interact with the dropdowns the filtering happens and the data in our dropdown headers get updated. The easiest way to see this in action is as follows:

Load the page
Click on “Update Header” div above the table
Notice all headers change to the string “Cars”
Click on any of the “Cars” headers for sorting
Headers get reversed to original state loosing the “Cars” update

Hi @anne.vela
Unfortunately (as written here: https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/3672) there is no option to block a row of being sorted or filtered.

Hi @anne.vela

I just got a demo from our devs where you can ignore first row while sorting: http://jsfiddle.net/budnix/8n9cdnc8/
