>>Resetting ColumnOrder property in code for particular column, you force it to change its relative position within a grid (even if >ColumnCount=-1). Try to fire code like: Thisform.Grid1.Column1.ColumnOrder=3, and you will see immediate results (it's always helpful >to issue Thisform.Grid1.Refresh too).
