Hi there - I am using the feature for adding/building tables via markdown in topics. I was searching for the ability to make the table headings sticky and found this:

> [@Wish list: sticky table headers](https://meta.discourse.org/t/wish-list-sticky-table-headers/231589):
>
> It would be really nice if I could scroll in my [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566) results and retain the table/result header labels, so I don’t have to scroll back up to remind myself which column is which. As an example, here’s data from [my TL2 gap report](https://meta.discourse.org/t/find-the-users-which-are-more-likely-to-become-tl3/91495/18) (the results of which are often heart-breaking). These users are just missing 1. But 1 what? (As it happens, the 1 here is giving 1 single like. Like I said, heartbreaking.)

… and was excited to use it. But it seems to be only implemented on [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) tables.

Is there a way to have this in regular post tables?

I think that this is a good feature request - hence I’ve moved it here to #Contribute > Feature.

It would certainly be helpful when tables get big!
