Possible to sort and highlight certain type of data?

Hi everyone,

I got a quick question about DataTables. I plan to create a table showing different telecomm data rates. One function i like to the table to have is the ability to quickly highlight or filter out data rates for a specific telecomm.

Can I do this with DataTables? I am thinking two possible solutions:
i) Instead of a Search field to filter, use a drop down list.
ii) Buttons with different telecomm. When you click on a button, the telecom selected will highlight data rates (change backgroudn to bright red etc.) corresponding to it.

Unfortunately, I am quite newbie at this. So I am not able to use the DataTables live to demonstrate what i like to do :(

Thanks!
Cliff
