Initializing Doby grid without columns

[ckosmowski]

First question for this issue is:

• Is doby grid intended to be initialized without any columns at all? And then later be populated with columns programatically ?

1.) If not:

Doby grid could throw an error if initialized without columns.

2.) If yes:

There is a really weired problem connected to jQuery.ui.sortable. (Which is mentioned on many posts and issues throughout the internet).

If you have any sortable list with ui.sortable in a horizontal mode (like it applies to doby grids reorderable columns) and you initialize it with $('xy').sortable() before any elements exists in that list (which is the case if you initialize doby-grid without any columns), it seems like jQuery.sortable somehow considers the list to be vertical.

So if you try to reorder the columns you can move them left/right but nothing happens as long as you dont move your mouse up/down. If you move the mouse up/down the reordering will happen.

The current workaround for me is to add a dummy column to doby-grid when initializing it.
