Managing columns

You can change the order of the columns in a table at any time. You can also hide columns, and display hidden columns in a report table.

How to change the order of columns

Use one of the following methods to change the order of columns:

Select a column, and choose Column→Re-order Columns from the context menu. On Re-order Columns, as shown in Figure 2-18, select each column to move. Use the arrows to move the column into the new position. Moving a column up the list moves the column to the left in the table.
