Add new table column that's left aligned in table

Question

We're developing a web application using the Vaadin framework.

In this app I have an existing table with a range a columns. On a user action I want to remove some of the existing columns and add some other additional columns.

This proved quite easy, however, I want the added column to be placed as the first column in the table, on the out most left edge of the table, and I can't seem to find any support for this action. Every column that's added is by default placed as the last column, in the out most right of the table.

I hope you understand what I'm asking. If you're somewhat experienced with Vaadin and have an idea on how to achieve this then please share it with me! =)

Thanks!

Answer 1

What you should do is to set your

table.setVisibleColumns(your sorted order of columns)

and also

table.setColumnReorderingAllowed(false) 

it might be good to throw in a force of relaoding the datasource so

table.setContainerDataSource(table.getContainerDataSource());
