Long column headers Posts

I have some column names that are very long. The data for this column is not that long. I want to wrap the header into multiple lines so that the column name is visible when the column width is less.

I tried setting the classname for column and reducing my top margin so that the column header in three rows is visible without making the column height too big. that didnt work.
I overrote the rendered method and set the margin-top element. That worked fine. but the sort icons are no longer displayed.

what is the best way to fix this. One option I can live with is adding tooltip to column names. that way even if the column width is less,
when the user mouses over, the whole name of the column is visible.

I am on version 2.8.

Hello rama,

Here is an example, using jqxtooltip.js:

howdy,

Is there a way to wrap the header text on columns. I don’t want to rely on tool tip.

thanks
