Custom URL doesn't work on ID that isn't displayed

I just looked at my site in IE and the column with the ID used for sorting that is hidden in FF and Chrome is showing up

I effing hate IE.

That said, I need to get the link column working for one that is not shown. This works:

I also tried setting the width of the column to zero, hoping it would hide, but no good.

Any thoughts ?

Would you like a login to take a look ?

I'd really like to get this resolved as soon as possible.

This is what I did: I modified the attached grid view to exclude columns with "_internal_" heading from the view.

Note that this is limited to my simple grid and might not work in combination with other features, so no warranty .

You can run a diff to find my changes or just search for "_internal_" and you will get the idea.

I am hoping that they would incorporate something like this into the product.

To use it, save your gridview.php file under com_grid\layouts (I think) and place this one instead. Put "_internal_" (without quotes) as a heading of any column you don't want to show, but still want included for other reasons.

Well, I already have a work-around, which I am hoping would be incorporated - maybe together with the above fix - I will wait for the official update.

Thank you.
