 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Unfortunately, the DataTables JS library does not support tables that use rowspan
   or colspan 🙁 You’ll have to decide what’s more important for your table.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi,
 * not that I know of, sorry. This is a limitation of the DataTables JavaScript 
   library that TablePress uses for these features. As I’m not the developer of 
   this script, but only use it in TablePress, I don’t know what would be necessary
   to make this work. Sorry.
