Description
this is my sample data

Are we able to filter objects as of recent like how this does it import MaterialTable from "@material-table/core";
ever since i started using this component import MUIDataTable from "mui-datatables";
my life has become misearable yet i thought its an advancement of @material-table/core
first and foremost that row data of this mui-datatables in ` customBodyRender: (value, tableMeta) => {
console.log("🚀 ~ ListPage ~ tableMeta:", tableMeta);
// const tableRowData = { ...(tableMeta.rowData ?? []) };`
there returns wiredly it returns as an array instead of object since my initial table data is array of objects
and also
i cant pass in data with children which are array of objects
` {
name: "vendor",
label: "Vendor",
options: {
filter: true,
sort: true,
customBodyRender: (value) => {
const vendor = value.name;
return
}
}
},`
that seems as a work around but its also wrong cos serach cant work at the end of the day so more advancements need to be done i request that the development team copies how this works MaterialTable from "@material-table/core";

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported nested child-array data and the customBodyRender configuration, then inspect how rowData and filtering handle those values. Done means the issue's object-shaped row data and child objects can be displayed and searched as requested, with behavior verified against the sample data.
