Grid populating columns in alphabetical order (which I don't want)

Question

Hi,
Am populating a grid from an array defined in my CFC function
in coldfusion.
My flex function is as follows:
public function getOrders(event:ResultEvent):void{
ords = event.result as ArrayCollection;
grd.dataProvider = ords;
The grid is populating nicely without any error. BUT it is
populating in alphabetical order.
That is, if in my query I do:
"select B,D,C,A from tbltest..."
It is populating the grid columns as "A", "B", "C" and "D"
(in alphabetical order).
Any idea, how do I do it to obtain in the order i want , as
"B","D", "C" and "A".
Thx for your precious help.

Answer 1

You will need to specify DataGridColumn tags to define the3
column order.
I might be wrong, but I do not think the default order of the
columns is alphabetical. Rather, it is the reverse of the order
which the columns are added to the columns array.
At any rate, the only ways to create reliable column order is
to use DataGridColumns or to build the columns programmatically.
