Pentaho CDE Change Column Order Dynamically for Table Element

Question

I have a table component on my dashboard with value for past 12 month like this

My question is, for next month i need to manually change the order of columns (eg. first column will be OCT, second will be NOV etc.)

Is there any way i can change column order a JQuery data table according to the date of current month? If it is September right now, the last column will be Aug then back to 12 months. I was thinking of using something like colReorder funcion in JQuery in PRE EXECUTION.

You may try to do that in the post fetch of the table component : it's a function that take one parameter containing the resultset (explore it with the debugger) :

function(r) {

//rearrange the content of r according to your need. Beware to arrange both metadata and values!
     return(r); //This will return your modified resultset     
}
