If you give columns in a grid widget a format character of "L", "I", or "T", the column will not be user-editable. L displays cells in a column as plain strings (preformatted), I interprets cells as an icon index, and T displays cells as non-editable Rich Text.

Grids are containers for tables. To rearrange the rows of a table you probably want a query with an orderby clause. For example, sorting the contents of a grid "myGrid" by the "price" column, ascending, might require a button with a script like

on click do
 myGrid.value:select orderby price asc from myGrid.value
end

Note that the default order[] event handler for grids offers something like this out of the box; you could overload this on a grid-by-grid basis if you wanted more elaborate behavior:

on order col do
 if !me.locked
  me.value:select orderby me.value[col] asc from me.value
 end
end

If you have a column in a table, you can index it by name to get a list. The "fuse" operator can convert any list into a flat string:

myGrid.value.fruit
# ("cherry","banana","elderberry","apple","durian")
"" fuse myGrid.value.fruit
# "cherrybananaelderberryappledurian"
"|" fuse myGrid.value.fruit
# cherry|banana|elderberry|apple|durian
