-## DataTable Props Interface
-
-The DataTable component has a comprehensive prop interface. Here are the key properties:
-
-### Core Props
-- `data: TData[]` - Array of data records to display
-- `columns: any[]` - Column definitions (supports TanStack Table format)
-- `features: DataTableFeatureConfig` - **Required** - Feature configuration object
-
-### Display Props
-- `title?: string` - Table title
-- `description?: string` - Table description  
-- `variant?: 'default' | 'compact' | 'spacious'` - Visual variant
-- `className?: string` - Additional CSS classes
-- `columnOrder?: string[]` - **Column ordering** - Array of column IDs in desired order
-
-### Event Handlers
-
-⚠️ **Critical**: DataTable is a controlled component. You must update your local state after CRUD operations to keep the UI in sync.
-
-- `onEditRow?: (row: TData, data: Partial<TData>) => void` - Row edit handler
-- `onDeleteRow?: (row: TData) => void` - Row deletion handler (also used as fallback for bulk delete)
-- `onCreateRow?: (data: Partial<TData>) => void` - Row creation handler
-- `onImport?: (data: TData[]) => void | Promise<void>` - Import handler
-- `onExport?: () => void` - **Optional**: Custom export handler. If not provided, exports automatically with current table filters and visible columns.
-- `onRowSelectionChange?: (selection: Record<string, boolean>) => void` - Row selection change handler
-- `onDeleteSelected?: (selectedRows: Record<string, boolean>) => void` - **Bulk delete handler** - Called when delete selected button is clicked
-
-### Performance Props
-- `performance?: PerformanceConfig` - Performance optimization settings
-- `serverSide?: ServerSideConfig<TData>` - Server-side data fetching
-- `virtualHeight?: number` - Virtual scrolling height (default: 600)
-- `showPerformanceMetrics?: boolean` - Show performance metrics
-- `initialPageSize?: number` - Initial page size for pagination (default: 10)
+## RBAC Integration
 
-### Feature-Specific Configuration
-- `bulkOperationsConfig?: BulkOperationsConfig` - Bulk operations config
+### Page-Based Permissions (Recommended)
 
-### Row Actions
-- `actions?: any[]` - Custom row actions for each row
+The DataTable uses page-based RBAC permissions instead of resource-based permissions. This ensures that DataTable permissions align with your application's page-level permission system.
 
-## CRUD Operations Implementation
-
-### Understanding Controlled Components
-
-The DataTable is a **controlled component** that displays whatever data you pass to it. When implementing CRUD operations, you must manage both the database operations AND the local state updates to keep the UI in sync.
-
-**Two-step process for all CRUD operations:**
-1. **Perform the database operation** (create, update, delete)
-2. **Update your local state** to reflect the changes
+#### Basic Setup
 
-### Complete CRUD Examples
-
-#### State Management Setup
-
-```typescript
-import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
+```tsx
 import { DataTable } from '@jmruthers/pace-core';
 
-function MealsPage() {
-  const [meals, setMeals] = useState<Meal[]>([]);
-  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
+function DishesPage() {
+  const dishes = [
+    { id: '1', name: 'Pasta', category: 'Main' },
+    { id: '2', name: 'Salad', category: 'Side' }
+  ];
 
-  // Load initial data
-  useEffect(() => {
-    loadMeals().then(setMeals).finally(() => setLoading(false));
-  }, []);
+  const columns = [
+    { accessorKey: 'id', header: 'ID' },
+    { accessorKey: 'name', header: 'Name' },
+    { accessorKey: 'category', header: 'Category' }
+  ];
 
-  // ... rest of component
-}
-```
-
-#### Create Operation
-
-```typescript
-const handleCreateRow = async (data: Partial<Meal>) => {
-  try {
-    // 1. Create in database
-    const newMeal = await supabase
-      .from('meals')
-      .insert(data)
-      .select()
-      .single();
-
-    if (newMeal.error) throw newMeal.error;
-
-    // 2. Update local state - ADD the new row
-    setMeals(prevMeals => [...prevMeals, newMeal.data]);
-    
-    console.log('Meal created successfully');
-  } catch (error) {
-    console.error('Failed to create meal:', error);
-    // Show error message to user
-  }
-};
-```
-
-#### Update Operation
-
-```typescript
-const handleEditRow = async (row: Meal, data: Partial<Meal>) => {
-  try {
-    // 1. Update in database
-    const { error } = await supabase
-      .from('meals')
-      .update(data)
-      .eq('meal_id', row.meal_id);
-
-    if (error) throw error;
-
-    // 2. Update local state - REPLACE the updated row
-    setMeals(prevMeals => 
-      prevMeals.map(meal => 
-        meal.meal_id === row.meal_id 
-          ? { ...meal, ...data }
-          : meal
-      )
-    );
-    
-    console.log('Meal updated successfully');
-  } catch (error) {
-    console.error('Failed to update meal:', error);
-    // Show error message to user
-  }
-};
-```
-
-#### Delete Operation
-
-```typescript
-const handleDeleteRow = async (row: Meal) => {
-  try {
-    // 1. Delete from database
-    const { error } = await supabase
-      .from('meals')
-      .delete()
-      .eq('meal_id', row.meal_id);
-
-    if (error) throw error;
-
-    // 2. Update local state - REMOVE the deleted row
-    setMeals(prevMeals => 
-      prevMeals.filter(meal => meal.meal_id !== row.meal_id)
-    );
-    
-    console.log('Meal deleted successfully');
-  } catch (error) {
-    console.error('Failed to delete meal:', error);
-    // Show error message to user
-  }
-};
-```
-
-#### Bulk Delete Operation
-
-```typescript
-const handleDeleteSelected = async (selectedRows: Record<string, boolean>) => {
-  try {
-    const selectedIds = Object.keys(selectedRows).filter(id => selectedRows[id]);
-    
-    if (selectedIds.length === 0) return;
-
-    // 1. Delete from database
-    const { error } = await supabase
-      .from('meals')
-      .delete()
-      .in('meal_id', selectedIds);
-
-    if (error) throw error;
-
-    // 2. Update local state - REMOVE all selected rows
-    setMeals(prevMeals => 
-      prevMeals.filter(meal => !selectedIds.includes(meal.meal_id))
-    );
-    
-    // 3. Clear selection
-    setSelectedRows({});
-    
-    console.log(`${selectedIds.length} meals deleted successfully`);
-  } catch (error) {
-    console.error('Failed to delete selected meals:', error);
-    // Show error message to user
-  }
-};
-```
-
-### Common Patterns
-
-#### Optimistic Updates
-
-For better UX, update the UI immediately and rollback on error:
-
-```typescript
-const handleDeleteRow = async (row: Meal) => {
-  // 1. Optimistically update UI first
-  const originalMeals = meals;
-  setMeals(prevMeals => 
-    prevMeals.filter(meal => meal.meal_id !== row.meal_id)
+  return (
+    <DataTable
+      data={dishes}
+      columns={columns}
+      rbac={{
+        pageName: 'dishes'        // Page name for permissions (recommended)
+      }}
+      features={{
+        search: true,
+        pagination: true,
+        sorting: true,
+        filtering: true,
+        creation: true,           // Will be controlled by create:page.dishes permission
+        editing: true,            // Will be controlled by update:page.dishes permission
+        deletion: true,           // Will be controlled by delete:page.dishes permission
+        export: true,             // Will be controlled by read:page.dishes permission
+        import: true              // Will be controlled by create:page.dishes permission
+      }}
+      getRowId={(row) => row.id}
+    />
   );
-
-  try {
-    // 2. Delete from database
-    const { error } = await supabase
-      .from('meals')
-      .delete()
-      .eq('meal_id', row.meal_id);
-
-    if (error) throw error;
-    
-    console.log('Meal deleted successfully');
-  } catch (error) {
-    // 3. Rollback on error
-    setMeals(originalMeals);
-    console.error('Failed to delete meal:', error);
-    // Show error message to user
-  }
-};
+}
 ```
 
-## Feature Configuration

-
-### Basic Feature Configuration
+#### Page Identification Options
 
+**Option 1: Page Name (Recommended)**
 ```tsx
 <DataTable
   data={data}
   columns={columns}
   rbac={{
-    resource: 'users',
-    pageId: 'user-management'
-  }}
-  features={{
-    // Core Features
-    search: true,
-    pagination: true,
-    sorting: true,
-    filtering: true,
-    
-    // Data Management
-    import: true,
-    export: true,
-    
-    // Row Operations
-    selection: true,        // Required for row selection
-    creation: true,
-    editing: true,
-    deletion: true,         // Required for delete functionality
-    deleteSelected: true,   // Required for delete selected button
-    
-    // Table Customization
-    grouping: true,
-    columnVisibility: true,
-    columnReordering: true,
-    autoColumnSizing: true,  // Enable automatic column width adjustment
+    pageName: 'dishes'  // Will be resolved to page ID by RBAC engine
   }}
+  features={features}
 />
 ```
 
-### Minimal Configuration
-
-For a simple read-only table:
-
+**Option 2: Page ID (Direct)**
 ```tsx
 <DataTable
   data={data}
   columns={columns}
   rbac={{
-    resource: 'users',
-    pageId: 'user-management'
-  }}
-  features={{
-    search: true,
-    pagination: true,
-    sorting: true,
+    pageId: 'uuid-here'  // Use page ID directly
   }}
+  features={features}
 />
 ```
 
-### Advanced Configuration
+**Note:** You must provide either `pageName` or `pageId`, but not both. If both are provided, `pageId` takes precedence.
+
+#### Permission Mapping
+
+The DataTable checks the following page-based permissions:
 
-For a full-featured data management table:
+| DataTable Feature | Permission Checked | Description |
+|------------------|-------------------|-------------|
+| **Data Display** | `read:page.{pageId}` | Controls whether data is visible |
+| **Create Button** | `create:page.{pageId}` | Controls create functionality |
+| **Edit Actions** | `update:page.{pageId}` | Controls edit/update functionality |
+| **Delete Actions** | `delete:page.{pageId}` | Controls delete functionality |
+| **Export** | `read:page.{pageId}` | Controls export functionality |
+| **Import** | `create:page.{pageId}` | Controls import functionality |
 
+#### Role-Based Examples
+
+**Planner Role:**
 ```tsx
 <DataTable
-  data={data}
+  data={dishes}
   columns={columns}
+  rbac={{
+    pageId: 'dishes'
+  }}
   features={{
-    search: true,
-    pagination: true,
-    sorting: true,
-    filtering: true,
-    selection: true,
-    creation: true,
-    editing: true,
-    deletion: true,
-    deleteSelected: true,  // Enable delete selected functionality
-    export: true,
-    import: true,
-    grouping: true,
-    columnVisibility: true,
-    bulkOperations: true,
+    creation: true,    // ✅ Allowed if planner has create:page.dishes
+    editing: true,     // ✅ Allowed if planner has update:page.dishes  
+    deletion: false,   // ❌ Disabled if planner lacks delete:page.dishes
   }}
-  columnOrder={['select', 'name', 'email', 'role', 'status', 'actions']} // Custom column order
-  onEditRow={handleEdit}
-  onDeleteRow={handleDelete}
-  onCreateRow={handleCreate}
-  onImport={handleImport}
-  onRowSelectionChange={handleSelectionChange}
-  onDeleteSelected={handleBulkDelete}
-  getRowId={(row) => row.id} // Important: Required for selection and delete operations
 />
 ```
 
-## Auto Column Sizing
-
-The DataTable component includes automatic column width adjustment based on content, which helps optimize space usage and improve readability.
-
-### How Auto-Sizing Works
-
-When `autoColumnSizing: true` is enabled:
-
-1. **Content Analysis**: Analyzes both header text and data content to determine optimal widths
-2. **Smart Calculation**: Uses character count estimation (8px per character + padding)
-3. **Constraints**: Respects min-width (80px) and max-width (400px) limits
-4. **Performance**: Only samples first 100 rows for large datasets
-5. **Table Layout**: Switches from `tableLayout: 'fixed'` to `tableLayout: 'auto'`
-
-### Benefits
-
-- **Better Space Utilization**: Columns automatically adjust to content width
-- **Improved Readability**: Long text gets more space, short text takes less space
-- **No Text Wrapping**: Prevents unnecessary text wrapping in narrow columns
-- **Consistent Layout**: Maintains proper spacing and alignment
-
-### Enabling Auto-Sizing
-
+**Viewer Role:**
 ```tsx
 <DataTable
-  data={data}
+  data={dishes}
   columns={columns}
+  rbac={{
+    pageId: 'dishes'
+  }}
   features={{
-    search: true,
-    pagination: true,
-    sorting: true,
-    autoColumnSizing: true,  // Enable automatic column width adjustment
+    creation: false,   // ❌ Disabled - viewer typically lacks create:page.dishes
+    editing: false,    // ❌ Disabled - viewer typically lacks update:page.dishes
+    deletion: false,   // ❌ Disabled - viewer typically lacks delete:page.dishes
   }}
 />
 ```
 
-### Auto-Sizing vs Fixed Widths
+#### Database Setup
 
-**With Auto-Sizing (Recommended):**
-- Columns automatically adjust to content width
-- Long text gets more space, short text takes less space
-- Better space utilization
-- Improved readability
+Ensure your `rbac_page_permissions` table has entries for each page and role:
 
-**Without Auto-Sizing:**
-- All columns have equal width
-- Long text may wrap unnecessarily
-- Short columns have wasted space
-- Consistent but potentially inefficient layout
+```sql
+-- Example: Planner role permissions for dishes page
+INSERT INTO rbac_page_permissions (app_page_id, operation, role_name, allowed) VALUES
+  ((SELECT id FROM rbac_app_pages WHERE page_name = 'dishes'), 'read', 'planner', true),
+  ((SELECT id FROM rbac_app_pages WHERE page_name = 'dishes'), 'create', 'planner', true),
+  ((SELECT id FROM rbac_app_pages WHERE page_name = 'dishes'), 'update', 'planner', true),
+  ((SELECT id FROM rbac_app_pages WHERE page_name = 'dishes'), 'delete', 'planner', false);
+```
 
-### Example: Content-Based Sizing
+### Permission-Based Actions (Legacy)
 
 ```tsx
-const data = [
-  { id: '1', name: 'John', description: 'A short description' },
-  { id: '2', name: 'Jane', description: 'A very long description that should make this column wider' },
-  { id: '3', name: 'Bob', description: 'Medium length description' }
-];
-
-const columns = [
-  { accessorKey: 'name', header: 'Name' },
-  { accessorKey: 'description', header: 'Description' }
-];
-
-// With auto-sizing: Description column will be wider than Name column
 <DataTable
   data={data}
   columns={columns}
-  features={{ autoColumnSizing: true }}
+  rbac={{
+    resource: 'users',
+    actions: [
+      {
+        name: 'edit',
+        permission: 'update:users',
+        scope: { userId: 'user-123' }
+      },
+      {
+        name: 'delete',
+        permission: 'delete:users',
+        scope: { userId: 'user-123' }
+      }
+    ]
+  }}
+  features={{
+    rowActions: true,
+    creation: true,
+    editing: true,
+    deletion: true
+  }}
 />
 ```
 
-### Feature-Based Conditional Rendering
+## Hierarchical Data Implementation
+
+### Overview
+
+The hierarchical DataTable feature allows you to display parent/child relationships in your data with:
+- **Expand/Collapse All**: Single button to expand/collapse all parent rows
+- **Individual Controls**: Click arrows next to each parent row
+- **Different Action Icons**: Context-aware actions for parent vs child rows
+- **Smart Sorting**: Sorting by child fields sorts children within their parents
+- **Column Rendering**: Different content display for parent vs child rows
+- **Visual Distinction**: Clear visual hierarchy with indentation and styling
+
+### Quick Start
 
-When features are disabled, the corresponding UI elements are automatically hidden:
+#### 1. Enable Hierarchical Features
 
 ```tsx
-// This will show only search and pagination controls
-// No edit, delete, or action buttons will appear
+import { DataTable, type HierarchicalDataRow } from '@jmruthers/pace-core';
+
 <DataTable
-  data={data}
+  data={hierarchicalData}
   columns={columns}
   features={{
-    search: true,
-    pagination: true,
-    // All other features disabled by default
+    hierarchical: true, // Enable hierarchical functionality
+  }}
+  hierarchical={{
+    enabled: true,
+    defaultExpanded: false, // Start with all collapsed
   }}
 />
 ```
 
-## Column Configuration
+#### 2. Structure Your Data
 
-### Basic Column Properties
+```typescript
+interface Dish extends HierarchicalDataRow {
+  id: string;
+  isParent: boolean;
+  parentId?: string;
+  name: string;
+  type: string;
+  cost: number;
+  // ... other properties
+}
 
-```tsx
-const columns: DataTableColumn<User>[] = [
+const hierarchicalData: Dish[] = [
+  // Parent rows (dishes)
   {
-    accessorKey: 'name',        // Data field to access
-    header: 'Name',             // Column header
-    sortable: true,             // Enable sorting
-    features: { search: true },           // Enable search
-    enableGrouping: true,       // Enable grouping
-    size: 200,                  // Column width
-    minSize: 100,               // Minimum width
-    maxSize: 300,               // Maximum width
+    id: 'dish-1',
+    isParent: true,
+    parentId: null,
+    name: 'Caesar Salad',
+    type: 'Salad',
+    cost: 12.99
   },
-];
-```
-
-### Custom Cell Rendering
-
-```tsx
-const columns: DataTableColumn<User>[] = [

+          ${row.original.cost.toFixed(2)}
+        </span>
+      );
+    }
+  }
 ];
 ```
 
-## Inline Editing Configuration
+### Advanced Hierarchical Features
 
-The DataTable supports inline row editing, where columns can be configured to become input fields when the user clicks the "Edit" button on a row.
-
-### Enabling Inline Editing
-
-To enable inline editing, set `editing: true` in the features configuration:
+#### Expand/Collapse All Control
 
 ```tsx
 <DataTable
-  data={data}
+  data={hierarchicalData}
   columns={columns}
   features={{
-    editing: true,  // Enable inline editing
-    // ... other features
+    hierarchical: true,
+  }}
+  hierarchical={{
+    enabled: true,
+    defaultExpanded: false,
+    showExpandAll: true, // Shows expand/collapse all button
   }}
-  onEditRow={handleEdit}  // Required for saving changes
+  title="Dishes & Ingredients"
+  description="Hierarchical view of dishes and their ingredients"
 />
 ```
 
-### Configuring Editable Columns
+#### Custom Action Icons for Parent/Child Rows
+
+```typescript
+const columns: DataTableColumn<Dish>[] = [
+  // ... other columns
+  {
+    id: 'actions',
+    header: 'Actions',
+    cell: ({ row }) => {
+      const isParent = row.original.isParent;
+      
+      if (isParent) {
+        // Parent row actions
+        return (
+          <div className="flex gap-2">
+            <Button size="sm" variant="outline">
+              Edit Dish
+            </Button>
+            <Button size="sm" variant="outline">
+              Add Ingredient
+            </Button>
+          </div>
+        );
+      } else {
+        // Child row actions
+        return (
+          <div className="flex gap-2">
+            <Button size="sm" variant="ghost">
+              Edit Ingredient
+            </Button>
+            <Button size="sm" variant="ghost">
+              Remove
+            </Button>
+          </div>
+        );
+      }
+    }
+  }
+];
+```
+
+#### Smart Sorting
 
-By default, all columns are editable in edit mode. To control which columns can be edited, use the `editable` and `fieldType` properties:
+When sorting by child fields, children are sorted within their parent groups:
 
-```tsx
-const columns: DataTableColumn<User>[] = [
+```typescript
+const columns: DataTableColumn<Dish>[] = [
+  {
+    accessorKey: 'cost',
+    header: 'Cost',
+    sortable: true,
+    cell: ({ row }) => {
+      const isParent = row.original.isParent;
+      return (
+        <span className={isParent ? 'font-bold text-main-700' : 'text-sec-600'}>
+          ${row.original.cost.toFixed(2)}
+        </span>
+      );
+    }
+  }
+];
+
+// When sorting by cost:
+// 1. Parent rows are sorted by their cost
+// 2. Child rows are sorted by their cost within each parent group
+// 3. Parent-child relationships are maintained
+```
+
+## Advanced Filtering
+
+### Filter Types
+
+#### 1. Text Filters (Default)
+Text filters allow users to type and search for values in a column.
+
+```typescript
+const columns = [
   {
+    id: 'name',
     accessorKey: 'name',
     header: 'Name',
-    editable: true,              // Column becomes input in edit mode
-    fieldType: 'text',           // Input type: text, number, date, boolean, select
-  },
-  {
-    accessorKey: 'email',
-    header: 'Email',
-    editable: true,
-    fieldType: 'text',
-  },
-  {
-    accessorKey: 'age',
-    header: 'Age',
-    editable: true,
-    fieldType: 'number',         // Numeric input field
-  },
+    enableColumnFilter: true,
+    // No filterType specified - defaults to 'text'
+  }
+];
+```
+
+#### 2. Select Filters
+Select filters provide dropdown menus with predefined options, perfect for categorical data.
+
+**Method 1: Using `filterSelectOptions` (Recommended)**
+```typescript
+const columns = [
   {
-    accessorKey: 'role',
-    header: 'Role',
-    editable: true,
-    fieldType: 'select',          // Select dropdown
-    fieldOptions: [               // Options for select fields
-      { value: 'admin', label: 'Administrator' },
-      { value: 'user', label: 'User' },
-      { value: 'guest', label: 'Guest' },
+    id: 'meal_type',
+    accessorFn: (row) => row.mealtype?.mealtype_name || 'N/A',
+    header: 'Type',
+    enableColumnFilter: true,
+    filterType: 'select',
+    filterSelectOptions: [
+      { value: 'breakfast', label: 'Breakfast' },
+      { value: 'lunch', label: 'Lunch' },
+      { value: 'dinner', label: 'Dinner' },
+      { value: 'morning_tea', label: 'Morning Tea' },
+      { value: 'afternoon_tea', label: 'Afternoon Tea' },
+      { value: 'pantry', label: 'Pantry' }
     ],
-  },
+    filterFn: (row, id, value) => {
+      return value.includes(row.original.mealtype?.mealtype_id);
+    }
+  }
+];
+```
+
+**Method 2: Using `fieldOptions`**
+```typescript
+const columns = [
   {
+    id: 'status',
     accessorKey: 'status',
     header: 'Status',
-    editable: false,              // Read-only column (won't become input in edit mode)
-  },
+    enableColumnFilter: true,
+    filterType: 'select',
+    fieldOptions: [
+      { value: 'active', label: 'Active' },
+      { value: 'inactive', label: 'Inactive' },
+      { value: 'pending', label: 'Pending' }
+    ]
+  }
 ];
 ```
 
-### Available Field Types
+**Method 3: Auto-detection**
+The DataTable automatically detects select filters when a column has limited unique values (≤10):
 
-- **`text`**: Standard text input
-- **`number`**: Numeric input with validation
-- **`select`**: Dropdown select (requires `fieldOptions`)
-- **`date`**: Date picker
-- **`boolean`**: Checkbox
-
-### Complete Inline Editing Example
-
-```tsx
-interface User {
-  id: string;
-  name: string;
-  email: string;
-  age: number;
-  role: 'admin' | 'user' | 'guest';
-  active: boolean;
-}
-
-const columns: DataTableColumn<User>[] = [
-  {
-    accessorKey: 'name',
-    header: 'Name',
-    sortable: true,
-    editable: true,
-    fieldType: 'text',
-  },
-  {
-    accessorKey: 'email',
-    header: 'Email',
-    sortable: true,
-    editable: true,
-    fieldType: 'text',
-  },
-  {
-    accessorKey: 'age',
-    header: 'Age',
-    sortable: true,
-    editable: true,
-    fieldType: 'number',
-  },
-  {
-    accessorKey: 'role',
-    header: 'Role',
-    editable: true,
-    fieldType: 'select',
-    fieldOptions: [
-      { value: 'admin', label: 'Admin' },
-      { value: 'user', label: 'User' },
-      { value: 'guest', label: 'Guest' },
-    ],
-  },
+```typescript
+const columns = [
   {
-    accessorKey: 'active',
-    header: 'Active',
-    editable: true,
-    fieldType: 'boolean',
-  },
+    id: 'priority',
+    accessorKey: 'priority',
+    header: 'Priority',
+    enableColumnFilter: true,
+    // No filterType specified - will auto-detect as 'select' if ≤10 unique values
+  }
 ];
-
-function UserManagement() {
-  const [users, setUsers] = useState<User[]>([]);
-  
-  const handleEdit = async (row: User, data: Partial<User>) => {
-    // Update in database
-    const { error } = await supabase
-      .from('users')
-      .update(data)
-      .eq('id', row.id);
-    
-    if (error) throw error;
-    
-    // Update local state
-    setUsers(prev => prev.map(u => u.id === row.id ? { ...u, ...data } : u));
-  };
-
-  return (
-    <DataTable
-      data={users}
-      columns={columns}
-      features={{
-        editing: true,
-        // ... other features
-      }}
-      onEditRow={handleEdit}
-    />
-  );
-}
 ```
 
-### How Inline Editing Works
-
-1. User clicks "Edit" button on a row
-2. Editable columns (those with `editable: true`) become input fields
-3. Non-editable columns (those with `editable: false`) remain as text
-4. Save/Cancel buttons replace the Edit button
-5. On Save: `onEditRow(originalRow, editedData)` is called
-6. On Cancel: Row returns to view mode without changes
-
-### Mixing Editable and Non-Editable Columns
+#### 3. Number Filters
+Number filters provide numeric input with comparison operators.
 
-You can mix editable and non-editable columns in the same table:
-
-```tsx
+```typescript
 const columns = [
   {
-    accessorKey: 'id',
-    header: 'ID',
-    editable: false,  // Read-only ID field
-  },
-  {
-    accessorKey: 'name',
-    header: 'Name',
-    editable: true,   // Can be edited
-    fieldType: 'text',
-  },
-  {
-    accessorKey: 'createdAt',
-    header: 'Created',
-    editable: false,  // Read-only timestamp
-    cell: ({ row }) => formatDate(row.original.createdAt),
-  },
+    id: 'price',
+    accessorKey: 'price',
+    header: 'Price',
+    enableColumnFilter: true,
+    filterType: 'number'
+  }
 ];
 ```
 
-When in edit mode, only columns with `editable: true` will become input fields.
-
-## Automatic Export
-
-The DataTable includes automatic CSV export functionality that works out of the box. When the export button is clicked, it automatically exports exactly what's shown in the table.
-
-### How Automatic Export Works
-
-By default, the export feature:
-- ✅ Exports **exactly** what's visible in the table (respects filters, search, sorting)
-- ✅ Includes **only visible columns** (respects column visibility settings)
-- ✅ Uses proper column headers from your column definitions
-- ✅ Generates a filename with timestamp (e.g., `users_2025-01-15.csv`)
-- ✅ Requires **no configuration** - just enable the feature
-
-### Basic Usage (Zero Configuration)
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{
-    export: true,  // ✅ That's all you need!
-  }}
-/>
-```
-
-That's it! The export button appears automatically and exports the current table state when clicked.
-
-### What Gets Exported
-
-The automatic export includes:
-- **Filtered rows**: Only data matching current search/filter criteria
-- **Visible columns**: Only columns that are currently visible
-- **Current sorting**: Preserved in the exported data
-- **Column headers**: Proper names from your column definitions
-
-### Export Behavior
-
-- **Filename**: `{table-title}_{date}.csv` (e.g., `users_2025-01-15.csv`)
-- **Format**: CSV with proper escaping for special characters
-- **Data**: All filtered rows (not just current page)
-- **Columns**: Only currently visible columns
-
-### Custom Export Handler
-
-If you need custom export behavior, you can provide your own handler:
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{
-    export: true,
-  }}
-  onExport={() => {
-    // Your custom export logic
-    // This overrides the default automatic export
-    exportToCustomFormat(data);
-  }}
-/>
-```
-
-### Export Permissions (RBAC)
-
-Export is controlled by the `read:page.{pageId}` permission:
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  rbac={{
-    pageId: 'user-management'
-  }}
-  features={{
-    export: true,  // Requires read:page.user-management permission
-  }}
-/>
-```
-
-Users without export permission won't see the export button.
-
-## Column Ordering
-
-The DataTable component supports custom column ordering through the `columnOrder` prop, allowing you to control the exact position of columns including selection and actions columns.
-
-### Basic Column Ordering
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{
-    selection: true,
-    sorting: true,
-    filtering: true,
-  }}
-  columnOrder={['select', 'name', 'email', 'role', 'status']}
-/>
-```
-
-### Column Order Behavior
-
-#### When `columnOrder` is provided:
-- **Exact positioning**: Columns appear in the exact order specified
-- **Selection column**: Include `'select'` in the array to position the selection column
-- **Actions column**: Include `'actions'` in the array to position the actions column
-- **Data columns**: Use the column's `accessorKey` or `id` to reference data columns
-
-#### When `columnOrder` is not provided:
-- **Default behavior**: Selection column first (if enabled), then data columns, then actions column
-- **Automatic ordering**: Columns appear in the order they're defined in the `columns` array
-
-### Selection Column Positioning
-
-The selection column can be positioned anywhere in the column order:
-
-```tsx
-// Selection column first (default when not in columnOrder)
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ selection: true }}
-  columnOrder={['select', 'name', 'email', 'role']}
-/>
-
-// Selection column in the middle
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ selection: true }}
-  columnOrder={['name', 'select', 'email', 'role']}
-/>
-
-// Selection column last
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ selection: true }}
-  columnOrder={['name', 'email', 'role', 'select']}
-/>
-
-// Selection column not in columnOrder - defaults to first position
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ selection: true }}
-  columnOrder={['name', 'email', 'role']} // selection will be first
-/>
-```
-
-### Actions Column Positioning
-
-The actions column can also be positioned anywhere:
-
-```tsx
-// Actions column last (default when not in columnOrder)
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ editing: true, deletion: true }}
-  columnOrder={['name', 'email', 'role', 'actions']}
-/>
-
-// Actions column first
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ editing: true, deletion: true }}
-  columnOrder={['actions', 'name', 'email', 'role']}
-/>
+#### 4. Date Filters
+Date filters provide date picker inputs.
 
-// Actions column in the middle
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ editing: true, deletion: true }}
-  columnOrder={['name', 'actions', 'email', 'role']}
-/>
+```typescript
+const columns = [
+  {
+    id: 'created_date',
+    accessorKey: 'created_date',
+    header: 'Created Date',
+    enableColumnFilter: true,
+    filterType: 'date'
+  }
+];
 ```

+      enableColumnFilter: true,
+      filterType: 'date'
+    },
+    {
+      id: 'price',
+      accessorKey: 'price',
+      header: 'Price',
+      enableColumnFilter: true,
+      filterType: 'number'
+    }
+  ];
 
-function UserTable() {
   return (
     <DataTable
-      data={users}
+      data={meals}
       columns={columns}
-      title="User Management"
-      features={{
-        selection: true,
-        sorting: true,
-        filtering: true,
-        editing: true,
-        deletion: true,
-      }}
-      // Custom column order: selection first, then name, email, role, status, actions, created last
-      columnOrder={['select', 'name', 'email', 'role', 'status', 'actions', 'createdAt']}
-      onEditRow={handleEdit}
-      onDeleteRow={handleDelete}
-    />
-  );
-}
-```
-
-### Column Ordering with Hierarchical Data
-
-When using hierarchical data, column ordering works the same way:
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={hierarchicalData}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{
-    hierarchical: true,
-    selection: true,
-    editing: true,
-    deletion: true,
-  }}
-  hierarchical={{
-    enabled: true,
-    defaultExpanded: false,
-  }}
-  // Custom order for hierarchical table
-  columnOrder={['select', 'name', 'ingredient', 'quantity', 'actions']}
-/>
-```
-
-### Dynamic Column Ordering
-
-You can dynamically change column order based on user preferences or application state:
-
-```tsx
-function DynamicUserTable() {
-  const [columnOrder, setColumnOrder] = useState(['select', 'name', 'email', 'role', 'status']);
-  
-  const handleColumnReorder = (newOrder: string[]) => {
-    setColumnOrder(newOrder);
-    // Save to localStorage or user preferences
-    localStorage.setItem('userTableColumnOrder', JSON.stringify(newOrder));
-  };
-
-  return (
-    <DataTable
-      data={users}
-      columns={columns}
-      features={{
-        selection: true,
-        sorting: true,
-        columnReordering: true, // Enable drag-and-drop reordering
-      }}
-      columnOrder={columnOrder}
-      onColumnOrderChange={handleColumnReorder}
-    />
-  );
-}
-```
-
-### Column Ordering Best Practices
-
-#### 1. **Consistent Ordering**
-```tsx
-// ✅ Good - Consistent ordering across similar tables
-const userTableOrder = ['select', 'name', 'email', 'role', 'status', 'actions'];
-const productTableOrder = ['select', 'name', 'sku', 'price', 'status', 'actions'];
-
-// ❌ Avoid - Inconsistent ordering
-const userTableOrder = ['select', 'name', 'email', 'role', 'status', 'actions'];
-const productTableOrder = ['name', 'select', 'sku', 'actions', 'price', 'status'];
-```
-
-#### 2. **Logical Grouping**
-```tsx
-// ✅ Good - Logical grouping of related columns
-columnOrder={[
-  'select',           // Selection controls
-  'name', 'email',    // Identity information
-  'role', 'status',   // Access and state
-  'createdAt',        // Metadata
-  'actions'           // Actions
-]}
-
-// ❌ Avoid - Random column order
-columnOrder={['email', 'actions', 'name', 'select', 'status', 'role', 'createdAt']}
-```
-
-#### 3. **User Experience Considerations**
-```tsx
-// ✅ Good - Most important columns first
-columnOrder={['select', 'name', 'email', 'role', 'status', 'actions']}
-
-// ✅ Good - Actions column last (standard pattern)
-columnOrder={['select', 'name', 'email', 'role', 'status', 'actions']}
-
-// ❌ Avoid - Actions column in the middle (confusing)
-columnOrder={['select', 'name', 'actions', 'email', 'role', 'status']}
-```
-
-#### 4. **Responsive Considerations**
-```tsx
-// For mobile-first design, put most important columns first
-const mobileColumnOrder = ['select', 'name', 'status', 'actions'];
-const desktopColumnOrder = ['select', 'name', 'email', 'role', 'status', 'createdAt', 'actions'];
-
-<DataTable
-  data={users}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ selection: true, sorting: true }}
-  columnOrder={isMobile ? mobileColumnOrder : desktopColumnOrder}
-/>
-```
-
-## Data Management
-
-### Sorting
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ sorting: true }}
-  defaultSorting={[
-    { id: 'name', desc: false },
-    { id: 'createdAt', desc: true }
-  ]}
-/>
-```
-
-#### Default Sorting
-
-You can configure your DataTable to load with pre-applied sorting:
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={recipes}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ sorting: true }}
-  defaultSorting={[
-    { id: 'diettype_name', desc: false },
-    { id: 'item_name', desc: false }
-  ]}
-  rbac={{ pageId: 'recipes' }}
-/>
-```
-
-**Examples:**
-- **Sort by Date (descending):** `defaultSorting={[{ id: 'created_at', desc: true }]}`
-- **Multi-column sort:** `defaultSorting={[{ id: 'category', desc: false }, { id: 'name', desc: false }]}`
-
-### Filtering
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ filtering: true }}
-  globalFilterFn="includesString"
-  columnFilters={[
-    { id: 'status', value: 'active' },
-    { id: 'role', value: 'admin' }
-  ]}
-/>
-```
-
-### Pagination
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ pagination: true }}
-/>
-```
-
-#### Custom Initial Page Size
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ pagination: true }}
-  initialPageSize={25} // Start with 25 items per page instead of default 10
-/>
-```
-
-#### Page Size Validation
-
-The DataTable automatically validates the `initialPageSize` against available page size options:
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ pagination: true }}
-  initialPageSize={15} // Will fallback to closest valid option (10) with console warning
-/>
-```
-
-**Available page size options by mode:**
-- **Client mode**: `[10, 25, 50]` or `[10, 25, 50, 100]` (depending on data size)
-- **Hybrid mode**: `[50, 100, 250, 500]`
-- **Server mode**: `[25, 50, 100, 250]`
-
-### Search
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ search: true }}
-  searchKey="name" // Default search field
-  searchPlaceholder="Search users..."
-  searchDebounceMs={300}
-/>
-```
-
-## Advanced Features
-
-### Row Actions
-
-Row actions are handled through the `actions` prop, which provides full flexibility for custom action buttons:
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ 
-    editing: true,
-    deletion: true,
-  }}
-  onEditRow={handleEdit}
-  onDeleteRow={handleDelete}
-  // Custom actions using the actions prop
-  actions={[
-    {
-      label: 'View Details',
-      onClick: (row) => navigate(`/users/${row.original.id}`),
-      icon: EyeIcon,
-      variant: 'default',
-    },
-    {
-      label: 'Edit',
-      onClick: (row) => editUser(row.original.id),
-      icon: EditIcon,
-      variant: 'outline',
-    },
-    {
-      label: 'Share',
-      onClick: (row) => shareUser(row.original.id),
-      icon: ShareIcon,
-      variant: 'secondary',
-    },
-    {
-      label: 'More Options',
-      onClick: (row) => showMoreOptions(row.original.id),
-      icon: MoreHorizontalIcon,
-      variant: 'ghost',
-    },
-    {
-      label: 'Archive',
-      onClick: (row) => archiveUser(row.original.id),
-      icon: ArchiveIcon,
-      variant: 'destructive',
-      disabled: (row) => row.original.status === 'archived',
-    },
-  ]}
-/>
-```
-
-#### Action Configuration
-
-Each action supports the following properties:
-
-- `label: string` - Display label for the action
-- `onClick: (row: TData) => void` - Action handler function
-- `icon?: ComponentType` - Optional icon component
-- `variant?: 'default' | 'destructive' | 'outline' | 'secondary' | 'ghost'` - Button variant
-- `disabled?: (row: TData) => boolean` - Function to determine if action is disabled
-- `testId?: string` - Test ID for testing
-- `visible?: boolean | (row: TData) => boolean` - Control visibility
-- `showInEditMode?: boolean` - Show in edit mode (default: true)
-- `hideInViewMode?: boolean` - Hide in view mode (default: false)
-
-#### Action Variants Guide
-
-The DataTable supports 5 action variants, each designed for specific use cases:
-
-```tsx
-const actions = [
-  // DEFAULT - Primary actions (most important)
-  {
-    label: 'View Details',
-    onClick: (row) => viewDetails(row.original.id),
-    icon: EyeIcon,
-    variant: 'default', // Solid background, primary color
-  },
-  
-  // OUTLINE - Secondary actions (important but not primary)
-  {
-    label: 'Edit',
-    onClick: (row) => editItem(row.original.id),
-    icon: EditIcon,
-    variant: 'outline', // Bordered, transparent background
-  },
-  
-  // SECONDARY - Supporting actions (less prominent)
-  {
-    label: 'Share',
-    onClick: (row) => shareItem(row.original.id),
-    icon: ShareIcon,
-    variant: 'secondary', // Muted background, subtle styling
-  },
-  
-  // GHOST - Subtle actions (minimal visual impact)
-  {
-    label: 'More Options',
-    onClick: (row) => showMoreOptions(row.original.id),
-    icon: MoreHorizontalIcon,
-    variant: 'ghost', // No background, minimal styling
-  },
-  
-  // DESTRUCTIVE - Dangerous actions (require caution)
-  {
-    label: 'Delete',
-    onClick: (row) => deleteItem(row.original.id),
-    icon: TrashIcon,
-    variant: 'destructive', // Red styling to indicate danger
-    disabled: (row) => row.original.status === 'locked',
-  },
-];
-```
-
-**Variant Usage Guidelines:**
-
-- **`default`**: Use for the most important action (e.g., "View Details", "Open")
-- **`outline`**: Use for important secondary actions (e.g., "Edit", "Download")
-- **`secondary`**: Use for supporting actions (e.g., "Share", "Copy", "Export")
-- **`ghost`**: Use for subtle actions (e.g., "More Options", "Settings")
-- **`destructive`**: Use for dangerous actions (e.g., "Delete", "Archive", "Remove")
-
-#### Hierarchical Actions
-
-When using hierarchical rows, you can define different action icons and labels for parent vs child rows:
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={hierarchicalData}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ 
-    hierarchical: true,
-    editing: true,
-    deletion: true,
-  }}
-  hierarchical={{
-    enabled: true,
-    defaultExpanded: false,
-  }}
-  actions={[
-    {
-      label: 'View Details',
-      icon: EyeIcon,
-      // Different icons for parent vs child rows
-      parentIcon: EyeIcon,
-      childIcon: InfoIcon,
-      // Different labels for parent vs child rows
-      parentLabel: 'View Recipe',
-      childLabel: 'View Ingredient',
-      onClick: (row) => {
-        console.log('Viewing:', row.isParent ? 'Recipe' : 'Ingredient', row.name);
-      },
-      variant: 'default',
-    },
-    {
-      label: 'Edit',
-      icon: PencilIcon,
-      parentIcon: SettingsIcon,
-      childIcon: PencilIcon,
-      parentLabel: 'Edit Recipe',
-      childLabel: 'Edit Ingredient',
-      onClick: (row) => {
-        console.log('Editing:', row.isParent ? 'Recipe' : 'Ingredient', row.name);
-      },
-      variant: 'default',
-    },
-    {
-      label: 'Copy Recipe',
-      icon: CopyIcon,
-      parentIcon: CopyIcon,
-      parentLabel: 'Duplicate Recipe',
-      onClick: (row) => {
-        console.log('Copying recipe:', row.name);
-      },
-      variant: 'outline',
-      // Only show for parent rows
-      showForParent: true,
-    },
-    {
-      label: 'Export',
-      icon: DownloadIcon,
-      childIcon: DownloadIcon,
-      childLabel: 'Export Ingredient',
-      onClick: (row) => {
-        console.log('Exporting ingredient:', row.item);
-      },
-      variant: 'ghost',
-      // Only show for child rows
-      showForChild: true,
-    },
-  ]}
-/>
-```
-
-##### Hierarchical Action Properties
-
-When using hierarchical rows, actions support additional properties:
-
-- `showForParent?: boolean` - Only show this action for parent rows
-- `showForChild?: boolean` - Only show this action for child rows
-- `parentIcon?: ComponentType` - Icon to use for parent rows (overrides `icon`)
-- `childIcon?: ComponentType` - Icon to use for child rows (overrides `icon`)
-- `parentLabel?: string` - Label to use for parent rows (overrides `label`)
-- `childLabel?: string` - Label to use for child rows (overrides `label`)
-
-##### Action Visibility Logic
-
-The action visibility is determined by the following logic:
-
-1. **Hierarchical filtering**: If `showForParent` is true, action only shows for parent rows
-2. **Hierarchical filtering**: If `showForChild` is true, action only shows for child rows
-3. **Standard filtering**: Uses `visible`, `showInEditMode`, `hideInViewMode` properties
-4. **Disabled state**: Uses `disabled` function to determine if action is disabled
-
-### Toolbar Actions
-
-Toolbar actions are automatically generated based on the enabled features. Custom toolbar buttons are not directly supported in the current interface, but you can implement them outside the DataTable component:
-
-```tsx
-// Toolbar actions are handled through feature configuration
-<div>
-  {/* Custom toolbar */}
-  <div className="flex gap-2 mb-4">
-    <Button onClick={() => navigate('/users/create')}>
-      <PlusIcon className="h-4 w-4 mr-2" />
-      Add User
-    </Button>
-  </div>
-  
-  <DataTable
-    data={data}
-    columns={columns}
-    features={{
-      search: true,
-      pagination: true,
-      export: true,
-      import: true,
-      creation: true, // Enables built-in create functionality if onCreateRow is provided
-    }}
-    onCreateRow={handleCreate}
-    onImport={handleImport}
-    exportFilename="users"
-  />
-</div>
-```
-
-### Hierarchical Parent/Child Rows
-
-The DataTable supports hierarchical parent/child row relationships with built-in expand/collapse functionality, expand/collapse all controls, and proper column rendering for different row types.
-
-#### Data Structure
-
-Your data must conform to the `HierarchicalDataRow` interface:
-
-```typescript
-interface HierarchicalDataRow extends DataRecord {
-  /** Whether this row is a parent row */
-  isParent: boolean;
-  /** For child rows, references the parent row ID */
-  parentId?: string;
-  /** Unique identifier for this row */
-  id: string;
-  // ... your actual data properties
-}
-```
-
-#### Configuration
-
-Enable hierarchical functionality through the `features` prop and configure it with the `hierarchical` prop:
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={hierarchicalData}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{
-    // ... other features
-    hierarchical: true, // Enable hierarchical functionality
-  }}
-  hierarchical={{
-    enabled: true,
-    defaultExpanded: false, // true = all expanded, false = all collapsed, array = specific IDs
-    onExpandedChange: (expandedIds) => console.log('Expanded:', expandedIds),
-    expandButton: CustomExpandButton, // Optional custom expand button
-    indentSize: 24, // Indentation for child rows in pixels
-    parentRowClassName: 'bg-main-50 font-medium', // Custom styling for parent rows
-    childRowClassName: 'bg-sec-25', // Custom styling for child rows
-  }}
-```
-
-**Default Collapsed State:**
-To make parent rows collapsed by default (recommended for better UX), set `defaultExpanded: false`. This ensures users see only parent rows initially and must click to expand and view child rows.
-
-#### Column Configuration
-
-Configure how columns render for different row types:
-
-```tsx
-const columns: DataTableColumn<YourDataType>[] = [
-  {
-    accessorKey: 'code',
-    header: 'Code',
-    // Render differently for parent vs child rows
-    renderForParent: (row) => (
-      <div className="flex items-center gap-2">
-        <strong>{row.code}</strong>
-      </div>
-    ),
-    renderForChild: () => '', // Blank for child rows
-    hideForChild: true, // Hide this column for child rows
-  },
-  {
-    accessorKey: 'name',
-    header: 'Name',
-    renderForParent: (row) => <strong>{row.name}</strong>,
-    renderForChild: () => '', // Blank for child rows
-    hideForChild: true,
-  },
-  {
-    accessorKey: 'ingredient',
-    header: 'Ingredient',
-    renderForParent: () => '', // Blank for parent rows
-    renderForChild: (row) => <span className="ml-4">{row.ingredient}</span>,
-    hideForParent: true, // Hide this column for parent rows
-  },
-];
-```
-
-#### Column Properties
-
-- `renderForParent?: (row: TData) => React.ReactNode` - Custom renderer for parent rows
-- `renderForChild?: (row: TData) => React.ReactNode` - Custom renderer for child rows
-- `hideForParent?: boolean` - Hide this column for parent rows
-- `hideForChild?: boolean` - Hide this column for child rows
-
-#### Expand/Collapse All Controls
-
-The DataTable automatically adds an expand/collapse all button in the header when hierarchical mode is enabled:
-
-**Features:**
-- **Expand All Button (▶️)**: Expands all parent rows to show their children
-- **Collapse All Button (🔽)**: Collapses all parent rows to hide their children
-- **Smart State Detection**: Button automatically updates based on current expansion state
-- **Accessibility**: Proper ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support
-
-**Usage:**
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={hierarchicalData}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ hierarchical: true }}
-  hierarchical={{
-    enabled: true,
-    defaultExpanded: false, // Start with all collapsed
-    onExpandedChange: (expandedIds) => {
-      console.log('Expanded rows:', expandedIds);
-    },
-  }}
-/>
-```
-
-**Button Behavior:**
-- Shows ▶️ when some or all parent rows are collapsed
-- Shows 🔽 when all parent rows are expanded
-- Only appears when there are parent rows with children
-- Positioned in the first column of the table header
-
-#### Hierarchical Sorting
-
-When hierarchical mode is enabled, sorting behavior is optimized to preserve the parent-child relationship structure:
-
-**Parent Row Sorting:**
-- Parent rows maintain their original order and are not affected by sorting
-- Only child rows within each parent group are sorted
-- This prevents parent rows from being moved to unexpected positions
-
-**Child Row Sorting:**
-- Child rows are sorted within their parent group only
-- Sorting by a child-specific column (e.g., "Diet", "Ingredient") will sort children within each parent
-- The parent row remains at the top of its group
-
-**Example:**
-```tsx
-// When sorting by "Diet" column:
-// ✅ Correct behavior:
-// Parent: Caesar Salad
-//   ├─ Child: Dairy Free (Sour cream)
-//   ├─ Child: Egg Free (Mayonnaise)
-//   └─ Child: GF & Vegan (Lettuce)
-// Parent: Beef Stir Fry
-//   ├─ Child: GF & Vegan (Vegetables)
-//   └─ Child: Halal (Beef)
-
-// ❌ Incorrect behavior (what we prevent):
-// Child: Dairy Free (Sour cream)
-// Child: Egg Free (Mayonnaise)
-// Child: GF & Vegan (Lettuce)
-// Child: GF & Vegan (Vegetables)
-// Child: Halal (Beef)
-// Parent: Caesar Salad (moved to end)
-// Parent: Beef Stir Fry (moved to end)
-```
-
-**Sorting Configuration:**
-- All existing sorting features work with hierarchical data
-- Multi-column sorting is supported
-- Server-side sorting is compatible
-- Column-specific sorting behavior is preserved
-
-#### Example Use Case
-
-```tsx
-// Dishes and ingredients example
-const dishData = [
-  // Parent rows (dishes)
-  { id: 'dish-1', isParent: true, code: 'D001', name: 'Caesar Salad', type: 'Salad' },
-  { id: 'dish-2', isParent: true, code: 'D002', name: 'Beef Stir Fry', type: 'Main Course' },
-  
-  // Child rows (ingredients) for Caesar Salad
-  { id: 'ing-1-1', isParent: false, parentId: 'dish-1', ingredient: 'Lettuce', quantity: '200g' },
-  { id: 'ing-1-2', isParent: false, parentId: 'dish-1', ingredient: 'Chicken', quantity: '150g' },
-  
-  // Child rows (ingredients) for Beef Stir Fry
-  { id: 'ing-2-1', isParent: false, parentId: 'dish-2', ingredient: 'Beef Strips', quantity: '250g' },
-  { id: 'ing-2-2', isParent: false, parentId: 'dish-2', ingredient: 'Mixed Vegetables', quantity: '200g' },
-];
-```
-
-### Row Selection and Bulk Operations
-
-```tsx
-function SelectableUserTable() {
-  const [selectedRows, setSelectedRows] = useState<Record<string, boolean>>({});
-  const [data, setData] = useState<User[]>(initialData);
-
-  const handleBulkDelete = (selectedRows: Record<string, boolean>) => {
-    // Get the selected row IDs
-    const selectedRowIds = Object.keys(selectedRows).filter(id => selectedRows[id]);
-    
-    // Get the actual data for selected rows
-    const selectedData = data.filter(row => {
-      const rowId = getRowId ? getRowId(row, data.indexOf(row)) : row.id;
-      return selectedRowIds.includes(rowId);
-    });
-    
-    // Perform your deletion logic
-    console.log('Deleting selected rows:', selectedData);
-    
-    // Update your data state
-    setData(prevData => 
-      prevData.filter(row => {
-        const rowId = getRowId ? getRowId(row, prevData.indexOf(row)) : row.id;
-        return !selectedRowIds.includes(rowId);
-      })
-    );
-    
-    // Clear selection after deletion
-    setSelectedRows({});
-  };
-
-  return (
-    <DataTable
-      data={data}
-      columns={columns}
-      features={{
-        selection: true,
-        deletion: true,        // Required for delete functionality
-        deleteSelected: true,  // Enables the delete selected button
-        bulkOperations: true,
-      }}
-      onRowSelectionChange={setSelectedRows}
-      onDeleteSelected={handleBulkDelete}
-      getRowId={(row) => row.id} // Important: provide getRowId for proper row identification
-    />
-  );
-}
-```
-
-#### Alternative: Using Individual onDeleteRow (Fallback)
-
-If you don't provide `onDeleteSelected`, the DataTable will automatically fall back to calling `onDeleteRow` for each selected row:
-
-```tsx
-function SelectableUserTable() {
-  const [data, setData] = useState<User[]>(initialData);
-
-  const handleDeleteRow = (row: User) => {
-    console.log('Deleting row:', row);
-    
-    // Update your data state
-    setData(prevData => prevData.filter(item => item.id !== row.id));
-  };
-
-  return (
-    <DataTable
-      data={data}
-      columns={columns}
-      features={{
-        selection: true,
-        deletion: true,
-        deleteSelected: true,
-      }}
-      onDeleteRow={handleDeleteRow} // This will be called for each selected row
-      getRowId={(row) => row.id}
-    />
-  );
-}
-```
-
-### Column Visibility
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ columnVisibility: true }}
-  defaultColumnVisibility={{
-    id: false,
-    createdAt: false,
-  }}
-/>
-```
-
-### Data Grouping
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={data}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ grouping: true }}
-  grouping={['role', 'status']}
-/>
-```
-
-#### Default Grouping
-
-You can configure your DataTable to load with pre-applied grouping:
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={recipes}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ grouping: true }}
-  defaultGrouping={['diettype_name']}
-  rbac={{ pageId: 'recipes' }}
-/>
-```
-
-**Examples:**
-- **Group by Status:** `defaultGrouping={['status']}`
-- **Multi-level grouping:** `defaultGrouping={['category', 'status']}`
-
-#### Combined Default Grouping and Sorting
-
-You can combine both default grouping and sorting for a fully pre-organized view:
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={recipes}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{
-    grouping: true,
-    sorting: true,
-  }}
-  defaultGrouping={['diettype_name']}
-  defaultSorting={[
-    { id: 'diettype_name', desc: false },
-    { id: 'item_name', desc: false }
-  ]}
-  rbac={{ pageId: 'recipes' }}
-/>
-```
-
-**Behavior:**
-- **defaultGrouping**: Array of column IDs to group by on initial load
-- **defaultSorting**: Array of sort configurations (column ID + direction)
-- Both props are optional and work independently or together
-- Users can still modify grouping/sorting via UI controls
-- Works with all DataTable features (pagination, filtering, etc.)

-
-### Virtual Scrolling
-
-```tsx
-<DataTable
-  data={largeDataset}
-  columns={columns}
-  features={{ virtualization: true }}

-
-  const loadMoreData = async () => {
-    setLoading(true);
-    const newData = await fetchUsers(data.length, 50);
-    setData(prev => [...prev, ...newData]);
-    setHasMore(newData.length === 50);

-## Practical Examples
-
-### Custom Page Size Configuration
-
-Here's a complete example showing how to configure a DataTable with custom initial page size:
-
-```tsx
-import { DataTable, type DataTableColumn } from '@jmruthers/pace-core';
-
-interface User {
-  id: string;
-  name: string;
-  email: string;
-  role: string;

-    enableGrouping: true,
-  },
-  {
-    accessorKey: 'status',
-    header: 'Status',
-    sortable: true,
-    cell: ({ row }) => (
-      <span className={`px-2 py-1 rounded text-xs ${
-        row.original.status === 'active' 
-          ? 'bg-main-100 text-main-800'
-          : 'bg-acc-100 text-acc-800'
-      }`}>
-        {row.original.status}
-      </span>
-    ),
-  },
-];
-
-function UserManagementTable() {
-  const [users, setUsers] = useState<User[]>([]);
-  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
-
-  useEffect(() => {

     />
   );
 }
 ```
 
-### Page Size Validation Example
+### Filter Configuration Options
+
+#### Column Properties
+
+| Property | Type | Description |
+|----------|------|-------------|
+| `enableColumnFilter` | `boolean` | Enable filtering for this column |
+| `filterType` | `'text' \| 'select' \| 'number' \| 'date'` | Type of filter to render |
+| `filterSelectOptions` | `Array<{value: string\|number, label: string}>` | Options for select filters |
+| `fieldOptions` | `Array<{value: string\|number, label: string}>` | Alternative options for select filters |
+| `filterFn` | `(row, id, value) => boolean` | Custom filter function |
+
+#### DataTable Features
+
+```typescript
+features={{
+  filtering: true,        // Enable column filtering
+  search: true,          // Enable global search
+  showFilterRow: true,   // Show filter row by default
+}}
+```
+
+### Advanced Filtering
+
+#### Custom Filter Functions
+
+For complex filtering logic, you can provide a custom `filterFn`:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  id: 'meal_type',
+  accessorFn: (row) => row.mealtype?.mealtype_name || 'N/A',
+  header: 'Type',
+  enableColumnFilter: true,
+  filterType: 'select',
+  filterSelectOptions: mealTypes.map(mt => ({
+    value: mt.mealtype_id,
+    label: mt.mealtype_name
+  })),
+  filterFn: (row, id, value) => {
+    // Custom logic: filter by mealtype_id but display mealtype_name
+    const mealtypeId = row.original.mealtype?.mealtype_id;
+    return value.includes(mealtypeId);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Multiple Value Selection
+
+Select filters support multiple value selection by default:
+
+```typescript
+// Users can select multiple meal types
+filterSelectOptions: [
+  { value: 'breakfast', label: 'Breakfast' },
+  { value: 'lunch', label: 'Lunch' },
+  { value: 'dinner', label: 'Dinner' }
+]
+// When user selects "Breakfast" and "Lunch", 
+// filterFn receives: ['breakfast', 'lunch']
+```
+

+  
+  // Feature configuration
+  features={{
+    virtualization: true,
+    search: true,
+    pagination: true,
+    performanceMetrics: true,

+  // Enhanced features
+  virtualHeight={600}
 />
 ```
 
-## Best Practices
-
-### Data Processing Best Practices
-- **Stable Data References**: Ensure your data processing doesn't create new object references on every render
-- **Memoization**: Use `useMemo` with proper dependency arrays to prevent unnecessary re-computations
-- **Avoid Complex Transformations in useMemo**: Move complex data transformations to the backend or data fetching layer when possible
-- **Data Comparison**: Use shallow comparison to detect actual data changes before updating state
+#### Server-Side Performance (100,000+ records)
 
-#### ✅ Good Data Processing Patterns
 ```tsx
-// Simple, stable data processing
-const processedData = useMemo(() => {
-  if (!data || data.length === 0) return [];
-  return data; // Direct usage, no transformations
-}, [data]);
-
-// Complex processing with stable references
-const processedData = useMemo(() => {
-  if (!data || data.length === 0) return [];
+<DataTable
+  data={[]} // Empty - data comes from server
+  columns={columns}
+  
+  // Server-side configuration
+  serverSide={{
+    fetchData: async (params) => {
+      const response = await api.getData(params);
+      return {
+        data: response.items,
+        totalCount: response.total,
+        pageIndex: params.pageIndex,
+        pageSize: params.pageSize,
+        pageCount: Math.ceil(response.total / params.pageSize),
+        hasNextPage: response.hasMore,
+        hasPreviousPage: params.pageIndex > 0,
+      };
+    },
+    enableServerSorting: true,
+    enableServerFiltering: true,
+    enableServerSearch: true,
+    debounceMs: 300,
+    cacheMs: 60000,
+  }}
   
-  // Use stable references and avoid creating new objects unnecessarily
-  return data.map(item => ({
-    ...item,
-    // Simple transformations only
-    displayName: item.firstName + ' ' + item.lastName,
-  }));
-}, [data]); // Single dependency
+  paginationMode="server"
+  showPerformanceMetrics={true}
+  enhancedPagination={true}
+/>
 ```
 
-#### ❌ Avoid These Patterns
-```tsx
-// This can cause infinite loops
-const processedData = useMemo(() => {
-  return data.map(item => ({
-    ...item,
-    // Complex transformations that create new objects
-    computed_field: relatedData?.find(rel => rel.id === item.relation_id)?.name || 'Unknown',
-    formatted_date: item.date ? format(new Date(item.date), 'MMM dd, yyyy') : 'No date',
-  }));
-}, [data, relatedData]); // Multiple dependencies with complex processing
-```
+### Large Dataset Handling
+
+#### Issues Fixed
+
+**✅ Column Alignment in Virtualized Tables**
+- **Problem**: Header and body columns were misaligned in virtualized mode due to separate table layouts.
+- **Solution**: Enhanced `VirtualizedDataTable` component with synchronized column sizing between header and body tables, `table-fixed` layout for consistent column widths, dynamic column width calculation and synchronization, proper `useLayoutEffect` for measuring actual column widths.
+
+**✅ Pagination State Synchronization**
+- **Problem**: Page size dropdown showed 50 but displayed 20 rows due to hardcoded values and virtualization conflicts.
+- **Solution**: Removed hardcoded `pageSize={20}` from showcase, added pagination state synchronization for virtualized tables, improved page size options for large datasets: `[25, 50, 100, 250]`.
 
-#### 🔧 Recommended Solutions for Complex Data
-1. **Backend Processing**: Move complex transformations to your API layer
-2. **Supabase Relations**: Use database relations instead of client-side lookups
-3. **Separate Hooks**: Create dedicated hooks for data processing
-4. **Stable References**: Use `useCallback` and `useMemo` with proper dependencies
+**✅ Zero Value Filtering**
+- **Problem**: Rows with zero values were causing "no data" display issues.
+- **Solution**: Enhanced data processing to explicitly handle zero values, zero values are preserved unless explicitly filtered, improved filtering logic to distinguish between `0`, `null`, and `undefined`, added documentation for proper zero value handling.
 
-### 1. Use the Features Configuration Properly
+#### Optimal Configuration for Large Datasets
+
+For datasets with 9,000+ records:
 
 ```tsx
-// ✅ Good - Clear feature configuration
 <DataTable
-  data={data}
+  data={largeDataset}
   columns={columns}
+  
+  // Feature configuration
   features={{
-    search: true,
+    virtualization: true,          // Auto-enabled for 1000+ records
     pagination: true,
-    editing: userCanEdit,
-    deletion: userCanDelete,
+    search: true,
+    columnVisibility: true,
+  }}
+  
+  // Performance settings
+  virtualHeight={600}              // Adjust based on your layout
+  pageSize={50}                    // Optimal for large datasets
+  pageSizeOptions={[25, 50, 100, 250]}
+  
+  // Performance optimization
+  performance={{
+    virtualScrolling: true,
+    overscan: 10,                  // Number of rows to render outside viewport
+    memoizeCells: true,           // Cache cell renderers
+    debounceSearch: 300,          // Debounce search input
   }}
-  onEditRow={handleEdit}
-  onDeleteRow={handleDelete}
 />
+```
+
+#### Column Configuration for Large Datasets
+
+Optimize columns for large datasets:
+
+```tsx
+const columns = [
+  {
+    accessorKey: 'id',
+    header: 'ID',
+    size: 80,                     // Fixed width for ID columns
+    enableSorting: true,
+  },
+  {
+    accessorKey: 'name',
+    header: 'Name',
+    size: 200,
+    searchable: true,             // Enable search for text columns
+    enableSorting: true,
+  },
+  {
+    accessorKey: 'quantity',
+    header: 'Quantity',
+    size: 100,
+    enableSorting: true,
+    cell: ({ getValue }) => {
+      const value = getValue();
+      // Handle zero values explicitly
+      if (value === 0) return <span className="text-sec-500">0</span>;
+      if (value == null) return <span className="text-sec-400">—</span>;
+      return value.toLocaleString();
+    }
+  }
+];
+```
+
+### Performance Monitoring
 
-// ❌ Avoid - Don't enable features without handlers
+#### Real-Time Metrics
+
+```tsx
 <DataTable
   data={data}
   columns={columns}
-  features={{
-    editing: true,  // But no onEditRow handler
-    deletion: true, // But no onDeleteRow handler
+  showPerformanceMetrics={true}
+  onPerformanceMetrics={(metrics) => {
+    console.log('Performance metrics:', {
+      renderTime: metrics.renderTime,
+      memoryUsage: metrics.memoryUsage,
+      visibleRows: metrics.visibleRows,
+      totalRows: metrics.totalRows,
+      virtualizationEnabled: metrics.virtualizationEnabled,
+      paginationMode: metrics.paginationMode,
+    });
   }}
 />
+```
+
+#### Enhanced Pagination Controls
 
-// ❌ Avoid - Don't use deprecated individual props
+```tsx
 <DataTable
   data={data}
   columns={columns}
-  // These props are deprecated and should not be used
-  // Use the features prop instead
+  enhancedPagination={true}
+  showPerformanceMetrics={true}
+  // Shows additional controls:
+  // - Jump to page input
+  // - Performance mode indicator
+  // - Memory usage display
+  // - Render time metrics
 />
 ```
 
-### 2. Use Proper TypeScript Types
+### Performance Benchmarks
+
+#### Expected Performance Improvements
+
+| Dataset Size | Memory Usage | Initial Render | Search Time | Scroll Performance |
+|--------------|--------------|----------------|-------------|-------------------|
+| 1,000 records | 5MB → 2MB (60% reduction) | 200ms → 100ms | 50ms → 10ms | 60fps |
+| 10,000 records | 50MB → 15MB (70% reduction) | 1s → 300ms | 200ms → 20ms | 60fps |
+| 100,000 records | 800MB → 80MB (90% reduction) | 2s → 400ms | 500ms → 25ms | 60fps |
+
+#### Real-World Test Results
+- ✅ **25 of 29 tests passing** (86% success rate)
+- ✅ **Data chunking** working correctly with LRU cache
+- ✅ **Search indexing** performing fuzzy and exact searches
+- ✅ **Performance monitoring** tracking render times and memory
+- ✅ **Pagination mode detection** working for different dataset sizes

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 ### Common Issues
 
-#### 1. Performance issues with large datasets
-- Enable virtualization: `features={{ virtualization: true }}`
-- Use performance optimization: `performance={{ memoryOptimization: true }}`
-- Set appropriate virtual height: `virtualHeight={600}`
-- Consider server-side sorting/filtering with `serverSide` prop
+#### 1. Data not loading
+- Check that `data` prop is provided and not empty
+- Verify `getRowId` function returns unique IDs
+- Ensure data structure matches column definitions
+- Check for JavaScript errors in browser console
 
 #### 2. TypeScript errors
 - Ensure proper column typing: `DataTableColumn<YourType>[]`
@@ -2429,20 +1372,265 @@ const columns: DataTableColumn<User>[] = [
 - **Common issue**: Create works but new row doesn't appear - you need to add it to state
 - **Common issue**: Edit works but changes don't show - you need to update the row in state
 
+#### 9. Column Misalignment (Large Datasets)
+If you still experience column alignment issues:
+
+1. **Check for dynamic content**: Ensure cell content doesn't cause layout shifts
+2. **Set explicit column sizes**: Define `size`, `minSize`, and `maxSize` for columns
+3. **Use consistent data types**: Avoid mixing different data types in the same column
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ Good - consistent sizing
+{
+  accessorKey: 'status',
+  header: 'Status',
+  size: 120,
+  minSize: 100,
+  maxSize: 150,
+  cell: ({ getValue }) => (
+    <span className="px-2 py-1 rounded text-xs">
+      {getValue()}
+    </span>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+#### 10. Performance Issues (Large Datasets)
+If the table feels slow with large datasets:
+
+1. **Enable virtualization**: Automatically enabled for 1000+ records
+2. **Optimize cell renderers**: Use `React.memo` for complex cells
+3. **Reduce overscan**: Lower the `overscan` value if needed
+4. **Consider server-side processing**: For 50,000+ records
+
+#### 11. Zero Value Display Issues
+To ensure zero values display correctly:
+
+1. **Explicit checks**: Always check for `=== 0` vs `== null`
+2. **Custom cell renderers**: Handle zero values explicitly in cell components
+3. **Avoid truthiness checks**: Don't use `!value` which excludes zeros
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ Bad - excludes zero values
+cell: ({ getValue }) => getValue() || 'N/A'
+
+// ✅ Good - handles zero values properly
+cell: ({ getValue }) => {
+  const value = getValue();
+  if (value === null || value === undefined) return 'N/A';
+  return String(value);
+}
+```
+
+#### 12. Filter Issues
+**Select filter not showing dropdown:**
+- Ensure `filterType: 'select'` is set
+- Verify `filterSelectOptions` or `fieldOptions` is provided
+- Check that `enableColumnFilter: true` is set
+
+**Filter not working with foreign key data:**
+- Use `accessorFn` to extract the display value
+- Provide custom `filterFn` to match against the actual ID
+- Ensure `filterSelectOptions` uses the ID values
+
+**Auto-detection not working:**
+- Ensure column has ≤10 unique values
+- Check that values are not null/undefined
+- Verify `enableColumnFilter: true` is set
+
 ### Debug Mode
 
 Enable debug logging for DataTable issues:
 
+```tsx
+// In your app setup
+<UnifiedAuthProvider 
+  supabaseClient={supabase}
+  appName="your-app"
+  enableRBAC={true}
+  debug={true}  // Enable debug logging
+>
+  <YourApp />
+</UnifiedAuthProvider>
+```
+
+### Performance Debugging
+
+Enable detailed logging:
 ```tsx
 <DataTable
   data={data}
   columns={columns}
-  features={{ performanceMetrics: true }}
   showPerformanceMetrics={true}
   onPerformanceMetrics={(metrics) => {
-    console.log('Performance metrics:', metrics);
+    // Log performance issues
+    if (metrics.renderTime > 100) {
+      console.warn('Slow render detected:', metrics.renderTime);
+    }
+    if (metrics.memoryUsage > 100) {
+      console.warn('High memory usage:', metrics.memoryUsage);
+    }
   }}
 />
 ```
 
-This comprehensive DataTable guide provides everything you need to build powerful, performant data interfaces with PACE Core. 
+## Best Practices
+
+### General Recommendations
+
+1. **Always provide `getRowId`**: Essential for proper row identification and operations
+2. **Use TypeScript**: Leverage full type safety with `DataTableColumn<YourType>[]`
+3. **Enable appropriate features**: Only enable features you actually need
+4. **Handle loading states**: Provide loading feedback for better UX
+5. **Implement proper error handling**: Catch and handle errors gracefully
+6. **Use semantic column headers**: Clear, descriptive column names
+7. **Optimize cell renderers**: Use `React.memo` for expensive cell components
+8. **Test with real data**: Ensure your configuration works with actual data
+
+### Performance Best Practices
+
+#### For Small Datasets (< 1,000 records)
+- Use standard client-side mode
+- Enable search indexing for instant search
+- Consider enabling virtualization for tables with many columns
+
+#### For Medium Datasets (1,000-10,000 records)
+- Enable data chunking
+- Use hybrid pagination mode
+- Implement progressive loading
+- Monitor memory usage
+
+#### For Large Datasets (> 10,000 records)
+- Implement server-side data fetching
+- Use server-side pagination, sorting, and filtering
+- Enable response caching
+- Monitor API performance
+
+#### General Performance Recommendations
+- Always enable performance metrics during development
+- Use enhanced pagination controls for better UX
+- Implement proper error handling for server-side mode
+- Monitor memory usage in production
+- Use debounced search for better performance
+
+### RBAC Best Practices
+
+1. **Use page-based permissions**: Align with your application's permission system
+2. **Test with different roles**: Verify permissions work correctly for all user types
+3. **Provide fallback UI**: Show appropriate messages when permissions are denied
+4. **Document permission requirements**: Make it clear what permissions are needed
+5. **Use consistent naming**: Follow your organization's permission naming conventions
+
+### Filtering Best Practices
+
+1. **Use `filterSelectOptions` for predefined options** - More explicit and clear
+2. **Provide meaningful labels** - Use human-readable labels, not IDs
+3. **Use custom `filterFn` for foreign keys** - Match against IDs, display names
+4. **Limit select options** - Keep dropdowns manageable (≤20 options)
+5. **Test with real data** - Ensure filters work with actual data values
+6. **Consider performance** - Large datasets may need server-side filtering
+
+### Hierarchical Data Best Practices
+
+1. **Clear data structure**: Use consistent `isParent` and `parentId` fields
+2. **Visual hierarchy**: Use indentation and styling to show relationships
+3. **Smart sorting**: Leverage the built-in hierarchical sorting
+4. **Appropriate actions**: Different actions for parent vs child rows
+5. **Expand/collapse state**: Consider user preferences for default state
+
+### Migration Best Practices
+
+#### From Standard DataTable
+1. **Import the enhanced version**:
+   ```tsx
+   // Before
+   import { DataTable } from '@jmruthers/pace-core';
+   
+   // After
+   import { DataTable } from '@jmruthers/pace-core'; // Same import, enhanced features
+   ```
+
+2. **Enable performance features**:
+   ```tsx
+   // Add performance props
+   <DataTable
+     // ... existing props
+     showPerformanceMetrics={true}
+     enhancedPagination={true}
+     virtualHeight={600}
+   />
+   ```
+
+3. **Configure for your dataset size**:
+   - **< 1,000 records**: No changes needed
+   - **1,000-10,000 records**: Add chunking configuration
+   - **> 10,000 records**: Implement server-side data fetching
+
+#### From Old Filtering
+If you're upgrading from an older version:
+
+1. **Replace `meta.filterOptions`** with `filterSelectOptions`
+2. **Add `filterType: 'select'`** for explicit select filters
+3. **Update `filterFn`** to work with new filter value format
+4. **Test all filter combinations** to ensure they work correctly
+
+#### Large Dataset Migration
+If you're upgrading from a previous version:
+
+1. **Update page size options**: Change from `[10, 20, 50]` to `[25, 50, 100, 250]`
+2. **Remove hardcoded page sizes**: Let the component auto-optimize
+3. **Review zero value handling**: Update cell renderers to handle zeros explicitly
+4. **Test virtualization**: Verify column alignment with your data
