Saving Sort Order beyon a Session

Hello,

Is it possible to save the Column Sizes and Column Order beyond a session. We have user who would like to save the order of his columns once and then have that order everytime he logs on.

Which grid version do you use ?

The latest one provides API for saving  columns sizes  and  order in cookie.

Please, see sample http://www.dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/samples/rows_columns_manipulations/pro_column_states_save.html.

Generally, you can get column width by getColWidth(ind) method:

var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < mygrid.getColumnCount(); i++){
    arr[arr.length] =  mygrid.getColWidth(i); 
}

To get columns order you can try to use getColIndexById method:

mygrid.setColumnIds("1,2,3,4,...")

var index_1 = mygrid.getColIndexById("1");
