Description

Hi. I know your busy but there are 2 requests that would be great:

  1. the expandingComponent works great but is there any way to be able to choose if you want it in the beginning or the end of the row? i did a tweak with css but there are other issues that it causes so it would be best if we can determine where we want it on the row
  2. if the table header could be fixed so that you can have scrolling on the body and the column header stays. I also found a fix with css but that too causes other issues (mainly #1 css fix clashes with this css fix)

thanks for your help.

Research direction
The issue requests two features: an option to place the expand indicator at the end of the row and a fixed table header. Begin by locating the component files responsible for rendering the expand indicator (likely in the row or table component, e.g., a file like `BootstrapTable.js` or a row component). Study how the expand indicator is currently rendered and how other configurable props are implemented. For the fixed header, examine the table's DOM structure and consider using CSS `position: sticky` on the `<thead>` or a similar approach. Check the issue comments for any prior discussion or maintainer input that might guide the implementation.
