Reordering on grouped columns in EJ2 TypeScript Grid control

13 Apr 20233 minutes to read

Grid provides an option to interchange the position of the Grouped Columns by dragging and dropping the grouped headercells in the droparea. So, any new column entering into the droparea can also be dropped in any position.

To enable this feature, you have to set the groupSettings.allowReordering property as true.

index.ts
index.html
import { Grid, Group } from '@syncfusion/ej2-grids';
import { data } from './datasource.ts';
import { Button } from '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons';

Grid.Inject(Group);

let grid: Grid = new Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    allowGrouping: true,
    groupSettings: { columns: ['ShipCity'], allowReordering: true },
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120 },
        { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 150 },
        { field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'Ship City', width: 150 },
        { field: 'ShipName', headerText: 'Ship Name', width: 150 }
    ],
    height: 240
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');
