Change the Order of Grid Columns

In many grids, you can change the order of the columns directly on the grid or via the dialog box for selecting columns. There are some applications in which you must use the selecting columns dialog box to reorder columns on a grid. For example, list reports on the My Stuff > Reporting section.

To change the order of the columns:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • If you can select the columns that you want to display:
      1. Click to display the dialog box for selecting columns.
      2. In the list of currently selected columns, hover over the first column row that you want to move.
      3. Click-and-drag the icon to move the column up or down in the list.
      4. Repeat these steps for each column that you want to move.
      5. Click Save to close the dialog box and apply the changes.
    • If you cannot select the columns that display:
      1. Hover over the heading for the first column that you want to move.

        In some browsers, the mouse pointer changes shape to indicate that you can move the column. For example, this behavior occurs in Resource Management Reporting when using the IE browser. (If the pointer does not change, that column is not movable.)

      2. Click-and-drag the column to the correct location.
      3. Repeat these steps for each column that you want to move.
