Ken,
Attached are the newTable and oldTable snapshots. As you can see that
spacerColumn in the newTable has a sort icon. Eventhough I am passing
empty value for that column, just because of "sort" being there creates
those icons. That is why I was asking if there is way to ignore that if
some option can be passed so that it doesn't create those icons.
Also for tableColumn within tableColumn you can see that in the example
as well.

thanks
Karam
