Thanks. Is there a way to just set the Column order without using an old and new index? The reason is that I need to rearrange every column but when I do that all of my initial columns get out of order once I use the Reorder method. In my example I have column headers for each day of the week which should start with todays date. As an example, today (3/12) the grid headers would appear as Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed. I've tried a few different ways to work this out but its proving a bit difficult.

Thanks

Hello Jon Bergquist,

I have created an extension method that allows you to specify the right order of columns and it will rearrange the columns automatically.
Currently the method uses the UniqueName property of GridViewDataColumn but it can be modified if such scenario is not possible.
I have attached a sample application that demonstrates how you can use the method.

You could also try defining the columns manually before RadGridView is databound, that way you will not have to reorder the columns afterwards.

Best wishes,
