I want to add row numbers 1 through nrow(df) that stays when filtered, sorted etc. Does dashtable support that?

Hi @schnetzlerjoe

Yes, the DataTable supports both row numbers and `row_id`

Before you sort or filter your df, you can create a row id like this:

```auto
df['id'] = df.index

```

See more information in the section called “Row IDs” [here](https://dash.plotly.com/datatable/interactivity)
