Allow define the visibility and order of columns in Tabulator

[maximlt]

It'd be great if the Tabulator component gained support for the equivalent of the column_order parameter of Streamlit's data_editor widget:

The ordered list of columns to display. If this is None (default), Streamlit displays all columns in the order inherited from the underlying data structure. If this is a list, the indicated columns will display in the order they appear within the list. Columns may be omitted or repeated within the list.

For example, column_order=("col2", "col1") will display "col2" first, followed by "col1", and will hide all other non-index columns.

column_order does not accept positional column indices and can't move the index column(s).

Hi @maximlt! I've implemented the column_order parameter for the Tabulator widget in PR #8434.

The implementation:

• Adds a column_order parameter that works like Streamlit's data_editor widget
• Allows filtering and reordering columns while keeping index columns first
• Includes comprehensive tests covering all edge cases

Would be happy to address any feedback or make adjustments if needed! 😊
