Material-table: Prevent column reordering

[xiaomaini]

Any way to prevent the user from moving the columns around?

I checked the code the other day, and there doesn't seem to be one. It should be fairly simple to implement.

There is a react-beautiful-dnd component that is inserted into each header cell. With an additional parameter in props.options, this could be changed to use a simple div

Thanks, I will take a look later and create a PR if there is no objections to adding such a feature.

I thought being able to drag the columns was a feature. I find it cool.

[gianlucamateo]

I also like the feature. But I think it can get in the way of some functionality and custom components. IMO, it would therefore be appropriate to make it optional, or ideally opt-out.

In my use case I am rendering a second row in the header with controls that control some column properties, and am using a fixed layout with computed widths. Moving columns around in that scenario is not pretty.

@xiaomaini Please do implement this as it is not always desirable to have some columns be draggable.
