What I understand is that you want to change the order of columns and/or select which columns to show. > Yes, I see the problem. I'll send a copy of this mail to Olivier > Guilyardi.

First of all, please consider that Structures_DataGrid follows the MVC pattern: - Core = Controller - DataSource = Model - Renderer = View In the current design of Structures_DataGrid, changing the order of columns (or selecting which ones to show), is, like changing the order of records (or filtering them), considered to be a matter of changing _content_, not _presentation_. In this regard, it is out of the scope of the Rendering layer, and therefore not the job of the Smarty driver. So to change the order of columns and/or the ones to show, you need to change the way you retrieve data, not the way you display it. Example : $options = array('fields' => array('name', 'stock', 'price')); or $options = array('fields' => array('stock' , 'name', 'price', 'description')); and then: $datagrid->bind($container, $options); You could alternatively use addColumn().
