Exactly right. Thanks. I think when I read the description of unshift(),
where it says "adds one or more elements...", I subconsciously thought
ARRAY. So the following code upon a headerrelease event works fine, just
in case someone else has a similar mission (I use this in combination
with the CTL key):
var cols : Array = dgItems.columns;
cols.unshift(cols.splice(event.columnIndex,1)[0]);
dgItems.columns = cols;
Danke...
