Could you provide a better description (and maybe some pictures) of what you're looking for?

**Of course, instead of your table in ignition displaying up to down.**

**It could display left to right**

I suppose it depends on how you think about your data, and what all you need to be able to do with the Table.

if you consider the rows of a vertical Table to be objects with attributes/values which you are displaying in columns, then you just need to re-think of the "rows" as a collection of all of the attributes in order to swap it to a horizontal layout.

In the following screenshot, what would normally be rendered as columns of "name", "responses", and "solutions" has been flipped to render "responses" and "solutions" as rows, with the usernames as the columns.

Note, however, that I've not restructured the Table itself in any way - I've only manipulated the data to reflect a different structure. There is no way to tell the Table that it should display any filtering or sorting at the _row_ level.
