I'm trying to build a datatable with filter buttons that filter by data that is not shown. For example, I want to have different tags for each tr in tbody, some will have more or less tags than others. I want the buttons to filter the search but I can't figure out how to make it work.   My table shows 5 columns (shop name, specialty, country, ready-to-ship, and, ships-to). I want to have hidden tags that the user can filter by. For example, they click a button and it filters by color, where a unique color tag is placed as a data value in it's tr.   Thanks
