Hello All,

I've a xul tree where some columns are defined into a .xul file and some
are dinamically created at run-time.

Once all the columns are added to the tree, I need to change their
displayed order.

I tried to modify the ordinal* attribute but I can't make it to work.

Which one would be best method to do it?

Many thanks in advance,
Guido.

Forgot to say: I've also tried to use the DOM insertBefore() method but
also this way doesn't work (for some reason the column is added /after/
the reference column...)

(I apologize for the multiple mails)

I particularly don't understand why the children order of the <treecols>
is not reflected in the displayed order of the columns.

For example, I've this structure :

<treecols>
<treecol id=A/>
<treecol id=B/>
<treecol id=C/>
</treecols>

but the columns are then displayed in this order : C, A, B.

Why? What is that ultimately regulate this order and how can I change it?

Many thanks again.

The tree tries to maintain the order internally. In particular, the
column ordinals are all alternate odd numbers so that splitters can be
put in between if required. Alternatively I suppose you could try
calling the _reorderColumn function to move your dynamic column.
