If you only want to apply the wrapping to one column, you can add a custom renderer.
Here is the function to add:
function columnWrap(val){
return '<div style="white-space:normal !important;">'+ val +'</div>';
}
Then add the renderer: columnWrap to each column you want to wrap
new Ext.grid.GridPanel({
[...],
columns:[{
id: 'someID',
header: "someHeader",
dataIndex: 'someID',
hidden: false,
sortable: true,
renderer: columnWrap
}]
