Description
Not an issue but a question. When responsive plugin is used and DataTable has sorting columns activated, the columns that are collapsed to the child rows cannot be clicked on to re-sort the data table by those columns. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? The idea is to give the users access to sort by all columns and not only by the un-collapsed columns they see when responsive layout is activated by the user (either by zooming in or using mobile browsers). I was thinking that maybe have a dropdown box before DataTable with search options that list all of the columns that can be used for sorting, but not sure if that would be possible to do or not?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the question. First identify where the Responsive plugin handles collapsed columns and how DataTables sorting is exposed; done should provide users a defined way to sort by every column, including columns shown only in child rows.
