A Django widget for use with a ModelMultipleChoiceField to allow easy jQuery DataTables sorting and pagination by rendering the selector as a table.

pip install django-table-select-widget

Example form field:

from table_select_widget import TableSelectMultiple

items = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(
    queryset=myqueryset,
    widget=TableSelectMultiple(
       item_attrs=[
           'tablecolumn1',
           ('tablecolumn2', "Table coulmn 2 header"),
           'same__related__parameter',
       ],
       enable_shift_select=True,
       enable_datatables=True,
       bootstrap_style=True,
    ),
)

Render it normally with a Django form.
