@mit686 How did you change the type? I'm looking to do the same

@mage-eag How can I set a grid of mine type to that of sales_order - because I am using the same collection

Find out how to do this, so for future people wanting to do this here is a way. Not sure it's the correct one, but it works

In the folder app/code/community/BL/CustomGrid/Model/Grid/Type resides the classes you want to take a look at. In my case I looked at app/code/community/BL/CustomGrid/Model/Grid/Type/Order.php and you'll see isAppliableToGrid method. I suggest overriding this class and adding your logick

In particular a feature that might be helpful, is to allow module developers to put their block type into an admin field and select the type of block they want to assign that too
I'll try to find the time to make a prototype and submit a pull request

UPDATE:
For the correct method to do this see this comment
