jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

I am trying to compare jqGrid with SlickGrid and DataTables. (Was using ExtJS with Grids, but looking into using jQuery instead.)

Desired features besides the standard sort-by-column are Column Reordering, and Column Selection (hide/show columns).

I see jqGrid has both Column Reordering and Column Selection.  Great!

However, I didn't see if it's possible to save the user's choices so they get the same setup the next time they come to the page.

Is this something you have to handle separately, is it something jqGrid can do automatically, or is it just no feasible?

Thanks!
