I'm trying to sort the column selection list in the header context menu. I am generating GridBoundColumns programatically. I am using
grid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add to add my columns in sorted order and that doesn't appear to affect the column chooser flyout. Is there a way to sort the column chooser list or to control the order externally?

Hello David,
The order of columns follows the order of columns in the MasterTableView, so to have the menu automatically pick up a sorted order, you should add the columns in a sorted order to the master table.
Alternatively, you could replace the menu items corresponding to the columns with custom ones. You can see how custom items can be added to the HeaderContextMenu here:
