Parameterised searchable() and sortable() Table methods

[Blackpig]

Hey guys,

Nice work so far, I've been playing around and migrating a small app to see how easy/mature things are.

It would be nice to be able to pass in column names into the searchable/sortable methods of the Table column. If I access an attribute on the Eloquent model e.g. getFullNameAttribute -> which returns the first_name . ' ' . last_name as concatenated string then the searchable/sortable methods fail because there is no underlying full_name column on the underlying table.

So I was thinking something like the below to pass in the query builder

Columns\Text::make('full_name')
 ->primary()
->searchable(['last_name', 'first_name'])
->sortable(['last_name', 'first_name']),

Edit:
Obviously as work around for the searchable it's possible to add the individual fields/columns as hidden

Keep up the good work

This is perfect! I've considered this issue before but hadn't thought of a suitable solution. Will have this in the core very soon. Thanks!
