FixedColumns allows columns to be fixed from both the left and the right hand sides of the table. Fixing right hand-side columns is done by using the fixedColumns.right initialisation parameter, which works just the same as fixedColumns.left does for the left side of the table. This example shows both the left and right columns being fixed in place.
