datagrid sort columns not rows

[Mgala]

Hi,

I am filling a datagrid via xml and the columns as not created in the order I
have in my xml. I've also added them in the correct order in the schema in the
datagrid.

I want the order to appear as OrderID, CustID, Company, Items, AMT. But is
shows as OrderID, Items, CustID, Company, AMT

I've attached the 1st row of data from the xml. How do I set the correct
order?

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<results_packet>
<rec OrderID="40000" CustID="13000" Company="Regular Insurance" Items="235"
AMT="365" />
</results_packet>

You can add the columns programmatically to ensure they appear in the right
order. For instance:

dg.addColumn("OrderID");
dg.addColumn("CustID");
dg.addColumn("Company");
dg.addColumn("Items");
dg.addColumn("AMT");

Hope that helps!

Sean,
Thanks. I'll keep this in my arsenal. What I did was add the fields to the
dataset from the schema tab in the order I wanted. It did the trick. I am
currently developing with code and visually. As I move to code this will be
really helpful.
