Full row selection
The rowReorder.selector option provides the ability to define which element in a table row will provide the row reordering handle to the end user. By default only the first cell in the row will trigger the reordering action. This example shows the entire row being able to start the reorder. Simply click and drag anywhere on the row. Additionally, the column that defines the row order is hidden by default, making the table a simple orderable list.
