I know this is old but stumbled across it and thought I'd share. This isn't provided out of the box but here's a simple solution:
In the columns definition add a
reorderable: false property, and optionally a
stickyPosition property (see onReorder).
columns: [
{ field: "check_row", title: " ", template: "<input class='check-row' type='checkbox' />", reorderable: false, stickyPosition: 0 },
"ProductName",
...
]
Set a callback for the
columnReorder event.
$("#grid").kendoGrid({ columnReorder: onReorder, ... });
This onReorder callback function below will place the column back to the
stickyPosition column index, or 0 if not provided.
function onReorder(e) {
if (typeof e.column.reorderable != "undefined" && !e.column.reorderable) {
var grid = $('#grid').data('kendoGrid');
setTimeout(function() {
grid.reorderColumn(e.column.stickyPosition || 0, grid.columns[e.newIndex]);
}, 0);
}
}
