Add new table column that's left aligned in table

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.

Solution

  • 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());
