Dynamic List View Column Reorder
Drag & drop columns in Odoo list views â reorder, persist, and enjoy a fully customised view
- Intuitive Drag & Drop Reorder columns by simply dragging column headers.
- Zero Configuration â Instantly adds drag capability to every list view.
Before Default Column Order
Standard list view with columns in default order
Drag & Drop in Action
Dragging a column header â visual feedback during drag
After Custom Column Order
Columns reordered as desired; layout persists across sessions
How to Reorder Columns
- Navigate to any list view (e.g., Customers, Products, Sales Orders).
- Hover over a column header â youâll see a âgrabâ cursor.
- Click and hold the header, then drag it left or right.
- Release the mouse when the drop target is highlighted.
- The column order updates instantly, and the new layout is saved automatically.
Persistence: The order is stored in your browserâs local storage, so it will survive page reloads and even browser restarts.
Per Model: Column orders are saved separately for each model (e.g., res.partner, product.template, sale.order).
Customer Management
Bring the most important customer fields (e.g., email, phone) to the front, while pushing less used columns to the end.
Product Catalog
Reorder columns to show sales price, cost, and inventory level sideâbyâside for quick analysis.
Order Lists
Place order date, customer, and total amount first for quick scanning of recent orders.
Data Entry
Bring mandatory fields to the left for faster data entry, reducing horizontal scrolling.
Reporting
Arrange columns to match your preferred reporting format, making it easier to export and analyse.
Team Collaboration
Each user can set up their own column order; the module stores preferences per browser.
Q: Does the module work with group by or other view features?
A: Yes. The module works alongside all standard list view features like grouping, sorting, and filtering. It only affects column order.
Q: Is the column order shared across different users?
A: No. The order is stored in the browserâs local storage, so it is userâspecific and perâdevice. Different users on the same machine would have their own orders.
Q: Will columns added later (e.g., via customization) appear correctly?
A: Yes. When a new column is added, it is appended at the end of the order (since it wasnât in the saved order). You can then drag it to its desired position.
Q: What happens if I remove a column that was part of the saved order?
A: The module handles this gracefully: it skips missing columns during reordering and appends any remaining columns that were not in the saved list.
Q: Does it affect performance on large lists?
A: The dragâandâdrop logic is lightweight and only runs when headers are attached or dropped. The column reordering is done inâmemory and does not cause extra server requests.
