### Props

| Name | Type | Default | Description |
| -- | -- | -- | -- |
| `title` | `string` | - | The column title. |
| `field` | `string` | - | The field name as a key of items in the `data` prop of the parent `Table` component. |
| `width` | `string=|number=` | - | The column width in `px` value. |
| `sortable` | `boolean=` | `false` | [^sortable] |
| `align` | `string=` | - | The alignment of cell content in the column. Supports `left`/`center`/`right`. |
| `span` | `function(number)=: Object` | | [^span] |

^^^sortable
Whether current column is sortable.

:::warning
`Table` and `Column` do not handle sorting. They only emit a `sort` event when the sorter is clicked so users need handle sorting themselves.
:::
^^^

^^^span
A function that defines how cells should span across rows/columns. The type is `function(index: number): { row: number, col: number }`, where `index` being the index of current row inside the `data` prop of the parent `Table`. The `row`/`col` of the return value correspond to table cell's `rowspan`/`colspan` attribut, with a default value of `1`.

:::tip
You can learn more abut how to use this in `Table` component's [Demos › Advanced](./table#advanced).

Displays the value keyed by the `field` prop inside the sub row data, which is `data[i].children[j]` of the parent table.

The slot scope properties are the same as each item inside `children`, with an extra `index: number`, which denotes the index within the row data.

:::warning
