Custom Column Order Per User

[Matthew]

Hello, 

I am trying to capture the order of columns headers after a user changes (re-orders) a column in the Grid. But so far I only seem to capture the original order.

I plan to store the order in the database, and when the grid is loaded re-order the columns for each user.

 

Here's a code snip that gets called after a user changes a column: (always gets original order) 

string sVal = "";
GridColumnCollection cols = grid.MasterTableView.Columns;
GridColumn c;
string[] sOrder = new string[grid.Items[0].Cells.Count];
 for (int i = 0; i < grid.Items[0].Cells.Count; i++)
            {
                sVal = grid.Items[0].Cells[i].ID.ToString();
                c = cols.FindByUniqueNameSafe(sVal);
                sOrder[i] = sVal + ":" + i.ToString();
            }

How do I get the actual order of columns after they are changed by the user?

Is it possible to change the grid's display order by JavaScript?

Hi Matthew,

For retrieving the order index of a column on server-side you could use the OrderIndex property of the columns:

• http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/columns/reordering#reordering

As for the reordering on client-side, please refer to the following help article:

• http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/client-side-programming/gridtableview-object/methods/swapcolumns

Hope this helps.
