   I did quick implementation and I think I did it using a plugin

                                           rowGroup: {
                                               // Uses the 'row group' plugin
                                               dataSrc: 2,
                                               startRender: function (rows, group) {
                                                   var collapsed = !!collapsedGroups[group];
   
                                                   rows.nodes().each(function (r) {
                                                       r.style.display = collapsed ? 'none' : '';
                                                   });
   
                                                   var toggleClass = collapsed ? 'fa-plus-square' : 'fa-minus-square';
   
                                                   // Add group name to <tr>
                                                   return $('<tr/>')
                                                       .append('<td colspan="' + rows.columns()[0].length + '">' + '<span class="fa fa-fw ' + toggleClass + ' toggler"/> ' + group + ' (' + rows.count() + ')</td>')
                                                       .attr('data-name', group)
                                                       .toggleClass('collapsed', collapsed);
                                               },
                                           },

   While what I can see:

   • https://datatables.net/extensions/rowgroup/examples/initialisation/simple.html
   • https://datatables.net/extensions/rowgroup/examples/initialisation/multipleGroups.html

           rowGroup: {
               dataSrc: [ 5, 1 ]
           },
           columnDefs: [ {
               targets: [ 1, 2 ],
               visible: false
           } ],

   Is much easier but also with more options.

   Multiple row-grouping levels are supported by the change merged in #533, with independent collapse state for each group path. This covers grouping by location and then by manager. The updated module has not been published yet.
