Reorder Columns

The treelist lets the user reorder its columns by dragging their headers.

To enable the column reordering, set the Reorderable parameter of the treelist to true.

To prevent the user from moving a certain column, set its own parameter Reorderable="false". Note that the user can still re-arrange other columns around it.

@* Drag a column header between other columns to change the columns positions. You cannot drag the Name column itself. *@
