Comments

The DisplayPosition property returns the display position of this column.

As a user reorders columns, this is completely transparent to the application. An application still references cells and columns by the "real" column number, which is the original column number that the cell or column had before columns were reordered by the user. While columns appear in a new order after dragging a column to a new position, the application references columns and cells by their real column number which never changes.

If a user reorders columns using column reordering, the (real) column numbers used by an application may need to be translated into the actual display column number, which is the column number as it appears to the user.

The Columns.Move method can be used to reorder columns under program control.
