How to Change the order of columns in the DataGridView

Change the order of columns in the DataGridView

In order to change the order of columns, just set the DisplayIndex property of the DataGridView to the desired value. Remember that the index is zero based.

C#

private void btnReorder_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

             dgv.Columns["CustomerID"].DisplayIndex = 5;

             dgv.Columns["OrderID"].DisplayIndex = 3;

             dgv.Columns["EmployeeID"].DisplayIndex = 1;

             dgv.Columns["OrderDate"].DisplayIndex = 2;

             dgv.Columns["Freight"].DisplayIndex = 6;

             dgv.Columns["ShipCountry"].DisplayIndex = 0;

             dgv.Columns["ShipName"].DisplayIndex = 4;

        }
