Combine columns into single column

Is it possible to achieve the following CSS layout using TanStack tables? In particular, I'm referring to the song artists being listed underneath the song title like in the included screenshot. In my data, the format is an object as follows:

[
  {
    id: number; 
    title: string;
    composers: [...{}];
    ...
  },
  ...
]

[
  {
    id: number; 
    title: string;
    composers: [...{}];
    ...
  },
  ...
]

For that particular column alone, you could render custom cells using your ColumnDefs

Column definitions are plain objects with the following options: Options

Inside, the render method, you can get access to the full row details, and then display it in a component accordingly. I've done something similar below. https://github.com/SeanCassiere/nv-rental-clone/blob/master/src/pages/AgreementsSearch/AgreementsSearchPage.tsx#L84-L109

Is there any way to combine real columns? The above works fine is most cases, but you lose sorting and filtering on those values

You could use the accessorFn to combine the column values into a single value (without doing the combing in JSX) and then your filters would then be run on that returned value. https://tanstack.com/table/v8/docs/guide/column-defs#accessor-functions
