Description of problem:
How do I place export to Excel and export to CSV buttons on top of the table between page length (topLeft) and search (topRight), same row?
I tried topCenter but it seems to take the whole row and pushes page length and search to next row.

There isn't a topCenter (because then we might end up with topStartCenterCenter or something mad!). Instead you can use an array:

layout: {
  top: [ 'pageLength', 'buttons', 'search' ],
  topStart: null,
  topEnd: null
}

Thank you Allan.
Is it possible to add some blurb above data table and below pagelength/buttons/search? Something like "Click on the label to view details".
