ColumnReorder

The ColumnReorder extension adds the ability to reorder the columns of a grid via drag'n'drop operations on column headers. In the case of more complex grid structures, note that reordering is only supported between columns within the same subrow or columnset.

require([
    'dojo/_base/declare',
    'dgrid/OnDemandGrid',
    'dgrid/extensions/ColumnReorder'
], function (declare, OnDemandGrid, ColumnReorder) {
    var grid = new (declare([ OnDemandGrid, ColumnReorder ]))({
        columns: {
            col1: {
                label: 'Column1',
                reorderable: false
            },
            col2: 'Column 2',
            col3: 'Column 3'
        }
    }, 'grid');
    // ...
});

Additional Column Definition Properties

The ColumnReorder extension supports the following additional column definition properties.

Property	Description
reorderable	If explicitly set to false, the given column's header node will not be treated as a viable DnD item, preventing it from being reordered. Note: this is generally only useful for columns at either end of a structure, since if it is surrounded by neighbors which are reorderable, it will not prevent reordering of the surrounding columns.

Events

The ColumnReorder extension emits a dgrid-columnreorder event whenever the user triggers a column reorder operation. This event includes the following properties:

• grid: The grid instance in which the reorder operation took place
• subRow: The specific subrow in which the reorder operation took place, reflecting the new order
• column: The column definition object representing the column which was reordered

This event bubbles and is cancelable; if canceled, the column structure prior to the reorder operation will be preserved.
