Allowing users to change column order

[jakeyteek]

Hi all

I am creating a web app (C# ASP.NET 3.5) and on the one page I want to display a list of results from a DB using a gridview for example. What I want to do is allow the user to change the column order of the results on the fly. The intention is a "click a column header and drag left/right" sort of interaction. Does anyone know of a solution for this sort of thing be it through code or even if there is a custom control that does this available for purchase on the web. Any thoughts greatly approceiated.

Many thanks

use the ListView to build your layout using raw html, not a gridview. use jqueryUI (or your preferred js library) to wireup the drag/drop functionality).

Thanks Jason, I'll look into that.
