Hi, I am having a problem when using with a multidimensional array object. Is it possible to use this js library with Json object as below.

[ {"id":"31","Mesial":{"disorder":"","other":""},"Facial":{"disorder":"DC-HP","other":""},"Distal":{"disorder":"","other":""},"Lingual":{"disorder":"","other":""},"Occlusal":{"disorder":"","other":""}} ,{"id":"37","Mesial":{"disorder":"","other":""},"Facial":{"disorder":"RE-AR","other":""},"Distal":{"disorder":"","other":""},"Lingual":{"disorder":"","other":""},"Occlusal":{"disorder":"","other":""}} ]

Columns only works with arrays of single-dimensional objects. Since your JSON data contains objects inside of objects it will not work.

Since this version of plugin is no longer maintained, my only recommendation is to alter or flatten data to meet the requirement.
