Hello,
it would be nice to have the moving column order feature (change the displayed order of the column using drag-and-drop) integrated in to jqGrid with 3 methods:
1) getColumnOrder(identifier), which returns the order number given a column identifier
2) getColumnOrders(), which returns a hash with key column identifier and value the column order
3) setColumnOrders(hash), which sets the order number of each column in the hash

Cheers
