I'd like to hide a column (its an ID column that is unique for each row), but I cannot remove it from the "columns" array because I need that data in the Row when actions are performed on the Row (Selection, Sorting, ect).

After being sorted for example, I need to grab the Rows match them up to the previous styles that they had before, and I can do this with the ID column. I need the data in the row, I just don't want it to be displayed.

Thanks.

The answer is NO, but that is not the answer you are looking for :)

Other than what columns are looking at to grab their data, there is no hard link between them and what your data items look like. You don't have to have a column visible to have an ID on your data item.
