DataTable: column order via props breaks after drag & drop reorder

[paol-imi]

Describe the bug

When using DataTable with reorderable columns, column ordering works correctly either via props or via drag & drop.
However, after a drag & drop reorder occurs, updating the column order again via props no longer works correctly.

This makes it impossible to reliably control column order from external state once the user interacts with column reordering.

Reproducer

https://stackblitz.com/edit/umv9mwqp?file=src%2FApp.jsx

System Information

primereact: 10.9.7
react: 18.3.1

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Open the StackBlitz reproducer

2. Click the Shuffle Columns button → Columns reorder correctly

3. Drag & drop any column to change its order → Columns reorder correctly

4. Click the Shuffle Columns button again → Column order does not update correctly / remains stuck

Expected behavior

After using drag & drop to reorder columns, updating the column order via props (e.g. clicking the Shuffle button) should still reorder the columns according to the provided prop/state order.

The DataTable should remain fully controllable by external column state even after user interaction.

If you call resetColumnOrder it starts working again (I added a ref to the table) but somehow after the second click:

  return (
    <div className="card">
      <button
        onClick={() => {
          tableRef.current.resetColumnOrder()
          setColumns((e) => {
            console.log('Previous Columns:', e)
            const [first, ...rest] = e;
            return [...rest, first];
          });
        }}
      >
        Miao
      </button>

The component keeps an internal state of the columns order that will ignore your re-ordering of the columns. Imo, this is not a bug.
