onColumnResize & onColumnReorder in Grid Component

Hi Kendo UI Community.

My team and I are currently encountering some difficulty with our implementation of the KendoReact Grid component. Particularly in regards to our implementation of the onColumnResize and onColumReorder functions we pass to the Grid.

A little bit of context: we get our columns from a redux store which we populate with data from a proprietary backend. We wish to maintain the array of columns here so that we can use our existing architecture to send these columns to the backend for serialization.

The problem is that for the onColumnResize function we accept "columns" and "index" as parameters. We use this index as an array index for our columns in redux. Everything works as expected when an end user has not manually reordered the columns. However; once the columns are reordered an orderIndex is applied and it is no longer correct, for the onColumnResize function, to use the "index" parameter as an array index.

We want to avoid using any conditional logic in our onColumnResize function to determine whether we should be accessing the column via the array index or the orderIndex. Ideally the orderIndex would always exist or the columns would come back from Kendo in a sorted array.

Does anyone have any suggestions please? 

Thank you in advance for any suggestions, guidance or advice!
