How do I change column display order in the GridGroupingControl?

Clicking on the Columns (or VisibleColumns) property of the Grid's TableDescriptor launches the GridColumnDescriptor Collection Editor, where you select a column and click on the Up or Down arrow to rearrange the display order.

To programatically change the display order of columns in the Grid:

C#

//Make the Col4 to be the first column to be displayed in the grid

this.GridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.VisibleColumns[0].Name = "Col4";

VB

'Make the Col4 to be the first column to be displayed in the grid

Me.GridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.VisibleColumns(0).Name = "Col4"

Note:

A new version of Essential Studio for ASP.NET is available. Versions prior to the release of Essential Studio 2014, Volume 2 will now be referred to as a classic versions.The new ASP.NET suite is powered by Essential Studio for JavaScript providing client-side rendering of HTML 5-JavaScript controls, offering better performance, and better support for touch interactivity. The new version includes all the features of the old version, so migration is easy.

The Classic controls can be used in existing projects; however, if you are starting a new project, we recommend using the latest version of Essential Studio for ASP.NET. Although Syncfusion will continue to support all Classic Versions, we are happy to assist you in migrating to the newest edition.
