Description

Hi @AllenFang, Making the first column sticky would really help when the table scrolls horizontally so that a reference to the rows can be seen while scrolling as the first column is generally used to hold the identifying element of a particular row data.

A similar example here

I've already implemented it in the fork of react-bootstrap-table. I think this would be a good feature for react-bootstrap-table2.

Research direction
Examine the table component structure in react bootstrap table2 (likely TableBody.js or similar). Study how CSS position: sticky can be applied to the first column. Reference the commit in the original react bootstrap table fork (react bootstrap table commit 369be1c) for implementation ideas. Also consider the react virtualized ScrollSync example for horizontal scrolling behavior.
