[Solved] Unable to swap 2 RadGrid columns

[Gary]

I'm trying to swap 2 columns within the RadGrid ColumnCreated event (see code below).  When I step through the code with the debugger, it appears to be working, but when the page renders, the columns are not swapped.  I have 2 columns in the markup (update & delete links) and a number of other columns that are auto-generated.  I'm trying to swap the 2nd column in the markup with the last auto-generated column.  Why are the columns not swapping?  TIA, Gary.

        protected void rgContacts_ColumnCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)
        {
            switch (e.Column.UniqueName)
            {
                case "PartyId":
                case "GUID":
                case "Code":
                case "Type":
                    e.Column.Visible = false;
                    break;
                case "LastColumn":
                    GridColumn gcDelete = rgContacts.MasterTableView.Columns.FindByUniqueName("DeleteCommand");
                    if (gcDelete != null)
                        e.OwnerTableView.SwapColumns(e.Column, gcDelete);
                    e.Column.Visible = false;
                    break;
            }

Hello Gray,

The SwapColumns() method accepts either the UniqueNames or the indexes for the two columns to swap as arguments. Check out the following code which illustrtaes the SwapColumns method:
aspx:

protected void rgContacts_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        rgContacts.MasterTableView.SwapColumns("LastColumn", "DeleteCommand");
    }

Also refer to the following document to understand better:
