The DevExpress ASP.NET MVC GridView extension provides you with a capability to organize grid columns into logical groups (bands). It allows columns to be arranged in multiple rows, and column headers and cells to occupy more than one row. A collection of column child columns can be accessed by the MVCxGridViewColumn.Columns property.
Bands provide both display and usability benefits. Header bands can be dragged by end-users to reorder columns. This is extremely useful if you need to provide a quick way to rearrange columns while preserving their logical grouping. Note that by default, columns (and bands) are only allowed to move within their parent bands, and when a parent band is moved, it is moved along with all its children. This prevents end-users from changing the hierarchy of columns within the grids. To allow end-users to modify the column hierarchy using drag-and-drop, set the SettingsBehavior.ColumnMoveMode property to ThroughHierarchy.
The Grid View allows you to export grid data with bands to various formats. You can take a look at a grid export capabilities in the Export with Data Cell Bands demo.
