Easily Reorder Rows in WPF Grids

Reorder Rows is a WPF grid feature that lets users move a row by changing its display order directly in the control, usually through drag-and-drop, so data can be arranged in a meaningful custom sequence. For .NET developers, it is useful when row position represents business intent, such as task priority, processing order, or a user-defined layout, because it supports direct interaction while reducing the need for separate ordering controls or additional code for manual sequencing.

Many .NET WPF grid controls contain reorder row functionality including:

• DevExpress WPF Data Grid (part of DevExpress WPF) lets you reorder rows through drag-and-drop, helping users adjust display sequence directly within data-bound views.
• ComponentOne WPF FlexGrid (part of ComponentOne Studio WPF) allows you to move rows with mouse dragging, making display ordering straightforward in interactive grids.
• Telerik UI WPF DataGrid (part of Telerik UI for WPF) facilitates row reordering through drag-and-drop behavior, enabling display-order changes within grids.
• Infragistics Ultimate UI for WPF DataGrid (part of Infragistics Ultimate UI for WPF) provides drag-and-drop infrastructure that can support row reordering through additional implementation work in applications.
