# Reordering Columns

**RadGridView** control supports column reordering by the user at run-time. The user has just to drag the desired column's header at the desired position among the other headers and drop it there. In the RadGridView control, the **AllowColumnReorder** property value determines whether users can move columns to different positions.

## Allow or disallow column reordering

```C#
radGridView1.AllowColumnReorder = true;
```

```VB.NET
RadGridView1.AllowColumnReorder = True
```

## Reordering Columns Programmatically
