Buttons example Multi-column layout

The collection button has a collectionLayout option that can be used to control the layout of the buttons shown in the collection. As the colvis button extends the collection button, this option is also available for the column visibility controls.

This example shows a fixed, two column layout. Please see the collectionLayout option in the collection button documentation for the full list of options.
