What it means
Reorder lets users reshape the view by dragging columns or rows into a new order, which makes the grid feel more like a workspace than a fixed report.
Data Operations guide
Reorder data grid documentation
Reorder makes the grid feel like a workspace. This page shows the host-owned column and row order you keep after drag interactions.
When to use it
Use column reorder when different teams need different reading orders for the same data. Use row reorder only when the order itself is meaningful, such as prioritization, ranking, or planning.
Implementation notes
Choose view-only reorder when the layout should change without mutating the underlying business data order. Avoid row reorder on immutable reports or audit screens where dragging would feel misleading.
