Research direction
Investigate the react bootstrap table2 repository to understand the current table rendering structure. Look for the table header and body components (likely in src/). Implement fixed columns using CSS `position: sticky` or custom JavaScript scroll handling. Ensure the fix works with horizontal scrolling while vertical scroll remains functional. Test with both fixed and non fixed columns. Reference similar implementations in other table libraries.
