The documentation As far as the documentation is concerned:

You can add any number of rows and columns you want. New columns and rows get added at the end of any existing ones.

The problem If I want to add something on the left side of the content, like a left sidebar with widgets? How I can do this?

Some possible solutions

  1. Include the option for new columns to get added at the previous of any existing ones.
  2. Add a new widget area to the left side of the content. (You are customizing Widgets)

You add a new column in the grid and then move all the parts you need to move in order to make room on the left of the column.

Allowing columns/rows to be injected anywhere would indeed make some things easier, but it would also over-complicate the UI. We have very limited space to work with (typically around 300px for the customizer sidebar) so while anything is possible, finding the right balance between features and not having 10 buttons in this limited space is a bit tricky

@aristath thank you! I tried a lot, but eventually I found a way to do it. General I think that it will be more useful to just use a slice or something else. "Push" is a very painful process and option.. but this is another issue!
