# Column Ordering

Rearrange columns and have the screen agree with your state

## What this does

You want users to reorder the columns of a table, but the order on screen doesn't always match the order you set. This covers how leaf column order is controlled and what else has a say - pinned regions, hidden columns, and grouping. Reach for it when drag-and-drop columns land somewhere you didn't ask for.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Let people drag columns into a new order
- Work out why rendered order differs from state
- Keep ordering sane alongside pinning and hiding

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## Questions

### Is Column Ordering safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Column Ordering and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit d9cca007c015, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/column-ordering.
