The column positions are set in code.  Some may say it may be possible using Customizer, but you would have to be very familiar with how the Sage 500 grid manager and Data Access Service works and how the columns are identified so as to not cause issues in processing.  You could have the screen modified by a qualified Sage 500 Development consultant to re-arrange the columns in the order you need them.  This would be a source code change that would need to be reviewed before applying any updates or upgrading Sage 500, so there is a maintenance overhead in this option as well as the initial design and development cost.

Aw, cmon Lou, that's not a fun answer. I mean all you have to do in CZ to solve the whole problem is add  Form.Controls("grdOrderPicked").ColHeaderDisplay = False 

Since Robyn is asking in the customization forum, here is a link to the properties for fpspread. I think the documentation link is more or less accurate but some properties are not allowed in the UI, unless you add your own grid.

As to your question, you would have to address the need in code, as Lou mentioned but you can enable the AllowColMove property to allow manual manipulation of the column order. It may require a refresh and you would have to test how that affects sorting, etc.

As to the spread properties that are set by Sage, they can vary according to the UI and lookups as well as BI are a different control, but you can review the grid properties in the VB source. The defaults are generally:

AllowCellOverflow = False
AllowDragDrop = False
ArrowsExitEditMode = False
AllowUserFormulas = False
AllowMultiBlocks = False
AutoCalc = False
AutoClipboard = True
AutoSize = False
BackColor = vbWindowBackground
BackColorStyle = True
BorderStyle = True
ButtonDrawMode = SS_BDM_CURRENT_CELL
CellBorderColor = vbButtonText
CellBorderStyle = SS_BORDER_STYLE_SOLID
CellBorderType = SS_BORDER_TYPE_OUTLINE
CellType = SS_CELL_TYPE_EDIT
ChangeMade = False
ColHeaderDisplay = False
ColsFrozen = False
CursorType = SS_CURSOR_TYPE_DEFAULT
CursorStyle = SS_CURSOR_STYLE_ARROW
DataChanged = False
DataFillEvent = False
DisplayColHeaders = True
DisplayRowHeaders = False
DragMode = vbManual
EditEnterAction = SS_CELL_EDITMODE_EXIT_NEXT
EditModePermanent = False
EditModeReplace = True
ForeColor = vbWindowText
GrayAreaBackColor = vbButtonFace
GridColor = vbButtonFace
GridShowHoriz = True
GridShowVert = True
GridSolid = True
LockBackColor = vbButtonFace
LockForeColor = vbButtonText
MoveActiveOnFocus = True
NoBeep = True
NoBorder = False
PrintBorder = True
PrintColHeaders = True
PrintColor = False
OperationMode = SS_OP_MODE_NORMAL       
RestrictCols = False
RestrictRows = False
RetainSelBlock = False
RowHeaderDisplay = SS_HEADER_BLANK
ScrollBarExtMode = True
ScrollBarMaxAlign = True
ScrollBars = SS_SCROLLBAR_BOTH
ScrollBarShowMax = True
ShadowColor = vbButtonFace
ShadowDark = vbButtonShadow
ShadowText = vbButtonText
SortKeyOrder = SS_SORT_ORDER_NONE
SelectBlockOptions = False
TypeEditCharSet = SS_CELL_EDIT_CHAR_SET_ASCII
TypeEditCharCase = SS_CELL_EDIT_CASE_NO_CASE
UserResize = SS_USER_RESIZE_COL

That's assuming they have access to the VB 6 source code as you point out to understand how it all works to begin with.

Actually, you can do any of this using CZ, but from what I recall the binding is different when sorting is enabled in a grid and it is enabled in that one. That probably means it will have to be a source mod, unless you have a really creative VBScript developer that toggles the grid between standard and modified versions every time they select new orders for picking. As always, it's the understanding of how everything works behind the scenes that's key.
