Have you tried it? Sometimes its easier to just try something then to post a question about it. ;-) Anyway, this is covered in the book: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators#Virtual-fields-in-SQLFORM-grid-and-smartgrid > I ask because am seeking granular control over column order.

If you need to sort on a calculated field, you're better off using a computed field.
