Is there a way to make a jqGrid column autosize so that the contents of a grid cell isn't cut off if it is too long?
There are no "autosize" feature in the jqGrid, but you can use text wrapping in the grid cells (see here) and in the column headers (see here).

I am new to JQGRID. I have a grid. I want the column width should be equal to the maximum value of the grid of the column heading whichever is bigger.
It's not full clear what you mean and which version/fork of jqGrid you use. Free jqGrid is the fork which I develop. It contains the feature for automatic resizing of columns on double-click between the column headers or direct by loading. See the wiki article for additional information.
If I correctly understand your problem then you should add cmTemplate: { autoResizable: true } option to set autoResizable: true property in every column and to add autoresizeOnLoad: true option jqGrid to automatically resize all columns after loading the data.
I am trying to adjust the width of column in jqgrid with the size of text in that column.
I didn't find a solution by searching.
I tried the solution at this question: jqgrid column width auto. I have problem with the header now. When there is no horizontal scroll in the jqgrid the header is shorter than the body. Any idea?
Some time ago I wrote small jqGrid plugin with setColWidth method. It do what you need. The last version of the method you can download from github (jQuery.jqGrid.setColWidth.js file). In the answer there are an example of usage of the method. Another demo created for the answer demonstrates the usage of the method to set the width of every columns of the grid based on the width of maximal width of content in the column and in the column header.
jqgrid doc in here contains:
method allow to reorder the grid columns using the mouse. The only necessary setting in this case is to set the sortable option in jqGrid to true.
I have sortable: true but columns cannot reordered by dragging headers by mouse. How to re-order columns by dragging columns headers or other way without using column chooser ?
To implement sortable columns is really easy. You should just follow the documentation. You should just
include jquery-ui.min.js additionally to jquery-ui.css which are always required. The most people have the file already included because of usage jQuery UI Widgets like Datepicker, Autocomplete, Tabs and so on.
add sortable: true option to the grid.
Now you can already (see the demo) drag the column header and drop it on another position.
I have a JQgrid and contains a subgrid.

How can i do?
I have a grid with multiple columns and I use the first column for a row label. I looked at the example for making the grid editable, but that appears to make the whole grid editable. Is there away to specify a certain column(s) only?
Got it! By not setting the editor property on the column object the column is non-editable.
