Solution 2

Assuming you are databinding this, the columns will be displayed in the order you reference them in the SELECT statement, and you can provide better, more human friendly names than your table contains:

SELECT [book title] AS Title, [book code] AS [Book Code], ISBN, Author, StockLevel AS [Stock nos.] FROM myTable

Would probably give you the data you require.
