Format data in columns

Is it/will it be possible to format data in columns?

I need to make links out of name-strings. For example: I get the cat_id, cat_name, dog_id, dog_name from my database and then I want two columns sorted by name together with links like:

<a href="cat.php?cat_id=123">Cat</a>

Also I want to format dates and integers. A callback for each row to format data would be great.

Hi badkar,

Well, it may be added in future.
The problem is of course not to display a formatted cell. That's easy.
The problem might be to decide what to do when editing such a cell.
After all, the contents of the cell might be composed of contents of multiple cells constrained by a formula.
Anyway, we'll put it on the wish list.

Actually I only wish to view data and not edit it. Do you know of any other library which is more suited only for viewing?

I think there are many grids to be found on the internet capable of displaying data in a grid in many ways. There are only few of them that also support editing the data.
So I suppose a search on Google will do.
