jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid - Topic: Column reordering enhancement http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/help/column-reordering-enhancement Simple:Press Version 5.7.5.3 Mohamed on Column reordering enhancement http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/help/column-reordering-enhancement#p30310 Help http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/help/column-reordering-enhancement#p30310 Hi there,  I would like to have the columns in my grid reorderable using drag and drop. I understand that the sortable property is what needs to be set on the grid is as follows:

jQuery("#list").jqGrid({ sortable: true, … });

This works perfectly fine, however in my grid I would like the first column (sometimes multiple columns)  to not be reorderable through drag and drop and stay in its place and have the rest of the columns reorderable. In other words I am looking for a way to pick which columns are reorderable and which are not.

Another person who had a similar issue posted the following question on stackoverflow ("http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2317199/jqgrid-with-column-reordering").  I did try some of the suggested solutions and nothing there actually worked for me.
On my end I was able to manually turn off drag and drop for a particular column with the following javascript code:
$('#grid_id_column_id').on('mousedown', function(e){
   return false;
});
however the issue then was: although I could not drag that column other columns can be dragged to the location of that column, therefore making the first column still reorderable through the moving of the other columns around it to its location.
Any help or advice on how to resolve this issue would be much appreciated, thanks.
