Description

I'm using the latest version of Blueprint on Chrome in Windows. I just had a question about the table package. Is there a way to make it operate like so with table headers popovers to sort or any other additional operations, search filters, overflow menu popovers, etc. I like the table but to be honest I want it to actually look like a table, not an Excel spreadsheet with row headers and clickable cells.

Research direction
The issue is a usage question about customizing the Blueprint table component with headers, sorting, and search filters. First, check the Blueprint table documentation for available props like enableSorting, enableFilters, and column header renderers. If the desired features are not directly supported, look for similar closed issues or feature requests in the repository. The maintainers may have addressed this in comments or linked to examples. If unclear, ask in the Blueprint Slack or Discussions for guidance.
