You will have to save the changed columns in either a text file or database table to recreate it again at runtime. The positional data could be something similar to 'colname1x':1,'colname1y':25,'colname1width':250,'colname1height':35,...

Then at runtime before the dw is rendered you would make all columns invisible, then go through your list making them visible and positioning them per the previously saved information.
