Summary

I would like to programmatically control a table's column order so that I can create custom views based on user actions

Why should this be worked on?

Ability to add custom views to the table without manipulating data

Adding use case

The application that I'm developing is a table builder that lets the user build a table template which the user can define column names / how many rows should be in it.

The top table's data source is a JS object's return value. Columns in the top table are controlled by the bottom table. When my user edits the bottom table, it'll update a JSObject which is the top table's data source. Column names are completely assigned by users.

@BorenTsaiAMD when a user edits the bottom table, you can programmatically manipulate the source data and set it on the top table via the Table.setData() method. could you check if this works?

@bharath31 I tried it, doesn't work. I tried updating one of the bottom table's row which means I'm updating one of the top table's column name, the column that I edited ended up getting sorted to dead last column.
