	<grid>
		<columns menupopup="auto">
			<column label="Author" sort="auto"/>
			<column label="Title" sort="auto"/>
			<column label="Publisher" sort="auto"/>
			<column label="Hardcover" sort="auto"/>
		</columns>

Customized Menupopup

<window title="Column's Menu Demo" border="normal" width="500px">
	<menupopup id="editPopup">
        <menuitem label="Group" image="~./zul/img/grid/menu-group.png"/>
        <menuitem label="Sort Ascending" image="~./zul/img/grid/menu-arrowup.png"/>
        <menuitem label="Sort Descending" image="~./zul/img/grid/menu-arrowdown.png"/>
	</menupopup>
	<grid>
		<columns sizable="true" menupopup="editPopup">
			<column id="col" label="Type" sortAscending="&#36;{asc}" sortDescending="&#36;{dsc}"/>
			<column id="col1" label="Type1" sortAscending="&#36;{asc}" sortDescending="&#36;{dsc}"/>
			<column id="col2" label="Content"/>
		</columns>
	</grid>
</window>
