# Reorder columns

### How to Reorder Columns?

Vitara grid  allows you to drag a column header and drop it to a new position.

#### 1. Drag and Drop

This is an intuitive way to rearrange columns directly in the grid.

* Steps:

1. Hover over the column header you want to move.
2. Click and hold the header.
3. Drag it to the desired location (you’ll see a visual indicator of the new position).
4. Release the mouse button to drop the column in the new position.

#### 2. Dropzone Settings

This method uses the grid’s column settings for manual reordering.

* Steps:

1. Open the Dropzone Settings.
2. Identify the list of columns displayed in the dropzone.
3. Rearrange the columns by dragging them to the desired order within the dropzone.
4. The changes will reflect in the grid layout automatically.

*  For a visual demonstration, please refer to the attached GIF file.

#### Pivot column reorder&#x20;

* In Pivot Charts, you can reorder pivot groups and save the customized order. However, when Pivot Group Totals or Pivot Group Metric Totals are enabled, the column order cannot be stored.
* The pivot order is saved only when these options are disabled. If either option is turned on, the chart will automatically revert to the default column order.
