Horizontal scrolling of tables

Hi All,

Can someone please help me understand if the horizontal scrolling of tables
in smaller screens fails accessibility compliance under 1.4.10 Reflow or
any other guidelines?
I see from https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/tables/tips/ that tables can be
flexible and can provide horizontal scrolling.

We are also looking into CSS approach by vertically stacking up the table
content in smaller screens,
but please suggest if there are any alternatives or examples that you can
provide.

Thanks,
Sudheer
