Description

Thank you for sharing and supporting this library.

## Expected Behavior

In order to display data in a table with a large number of columns, I'd like to be able to create a data table whose columns are stacked on top of each other so that a given record does not take up too much space length wise on the page.
I am considering use case for low volumes of records.

## Current Behavior

Not a bug but a guidance question. I essentially will like to display a given record across more than one physical row therefore requiring column headers to be positioned on top of one another.

Current behavior is that all data is rendered on one row.

Research direction

The issue does not name any repository files, entry points, or tests, and it asks whether stacked columns are supported rather than specifying a concrete change. Start by reviewing the table rendering and column-layout documentation, then determine whether the requested multi-row layout is an existing capability or requires a new design; done would mean a documented, agreed implementation scope.
