Dynamic Columns reordering doesn't work (New Table)

When I use the New Table, I can reorder the columns by dragging their header left or right.

However, when I select "use dynamic column settings" the reordering is broken.

It doesn't matter if pagination is enabled or disabled. I've tried setting the primary key and all sorts of tricks but this appears to be a bug and not something I can fix on my end.

Hi @Greyson_Sawyer Thanks for this detailed report! This bug is in our queue to be fixed, so I'll reach back out here when it's no longer an issue

Thank you so much for taking a look at it!

I'm also experiencing this problem. Is there a way to disable reordering in the meantime, so my users don't break the columns? It makes it unusable.

Or is there at least a way to reset the columns upon refreshing the page so the broken columns don't stay broken? (resetting the source for the dynamic columns doesn't help)

Hi @Sam_Q,

Thanks for checking in. I don't think we have a great workaround here, but the bug report has been bumped internally (so hopefully, we'll have a fix soon!)

This should be fixed now on Cloud :pray:

It looks like the fix will ship to self hosted accounts on edge release 3.68.

Hi,
is the column reordering still an issue? how we can disable column reordering in both server and Client table?

Hi @Eric4,

It appears that the ticket Tess mentioned above was completed so that columns can be re-ordered properly.

Currently there is not an option to "lock" a table so that the columns cannot be re-ordered by users clicking and dragging them.

Any changes to the order of columns in the table component will be purely visual and not affect the table column order in the backend/on the server.

Are you having issues where users are re-ordering table columns on the client side?

Thanks for your response. No blocker by reordering the column. it was just good option to have it by locking and unlocking it.

Ah I see, thank you for letting me know.

Glad to hear that it is not a blocker, I believe we have a ticket for locking table column order but it seems to be a low priority and not on the roadmap currently. I can add a +1 to that ticket for you :+1:
