Programmatically Adjusting Column Positions

Demonstrate how to programmatically change the order of columns in React TanStack Table using the 'setColumnOrder' method provided by 'useColumnOrder' hook.

import { useTable, useColumnOrder } from '@tanstack/react-table';

First, import the necessary hooks from '@tanstack/react-table'.

const columns = React.useMemo(() => [...], []);

Define your columns array using the useMemo hook to avoid recalculations on re-renders.

const data = React.useMemo(() => [...], []);

Similarly, define your table data with the useMemo hook.

const tableInstance = useTable({ columns, data }, useColumnOrder);

Create the table instance and apply the useColumnOrder hook to enable column ordering functionalities.

const { setColumnOrder } = tableInstance;

Destructure the setColumnOrder function from the table instance. This function allows us to programmatically adjust the column order.

const reorderColumns = () => {
  const newOrder = [...]; // Your new column order here
  setColumnOrder(newOrder);
};

Define a function that reorders columns. You should provide it with the new desired column order.
