You can bind the column DisplayIndex to some integer in your datacontext.

<DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" DisplayIndex="{Binding Path=DisplayIndex_Name}" />

In code behind you can just change the value of the bound parameter, in this case DisplayIndex_Name and the bound DisplayIndex of the DataGridTextColumn will also change depending on what value you give it.

By writing new data into the grid in the desired order.

Consider using a DataGridView instead. It has much better sorting capabilities.

If you bind a datatable then you can change column order as 

dataTable.Columns["Column Name"].SetOrdinal(NewIndex);

You need to set DataSource null and clean the GridView before you bind it back 

dataGridView1.DataSource = null;
dataGridView1.Columns.Clear();
dataGridView1.DataSource = dataTable;
