Set and save the columns order and RadGrid

[Pierre]

hello,

I have a radgrid that contains a MasterTable and a DetailTable. The problem is that I can’t set the orders of the columns in the Mastertable and the DetalTable.
Is it possible to set and save the orders myself instead having the default orders?

Regards,

Hi Pierre,

There are several possible ways to achieve the requested functionality:

• Using OrderIndex:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    if (!IsPostBack)

    {

        GridColumn column = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumnSafe("DragDropColumn") as GridColumn;

        column.OrderIndex = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.RenderColumns.Length;

        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();

    }

}

• Swap command on the server:

• Swap command on the client:

• Reorder on the client:
