You can rearrange the property columns in the Library in an order that suits the way you work. For example, you can move frequently-used columns so that they appear in any view without scrolling and move the less frequently used columns to the end of the grid. 

You can move a column by dragging its column heading to another position in the headings row. When you drag a column heading, a transparent image of the column heading moves with the mouse pointer. As you drag the transparent image left or right in the headings row, vertical white double arrows appear indicating where the column will be placed when you release the mouse button.

Note: You can also configure the column arrangement by editing any view definition. Column changes made to the active view are automatically saved in the view definition.

The Developer remembers your column order, so that the next time you open the Library or Outline Editor, the columns appear in the active view as you last arranged them.

If you split the work area into separate horizontal or vertical layouts, you can create a separate column arrangement for each work area.

To rearrange columns:

1. Drag the heading of the column you want to move and drop it on a heading in the headings row, to the left of which you want to insert the moved column.

To sequence columns in a view definition:

1. On the View menu, choose Manage Views.
    
2. Add a new view or edit an existing view.
    
3. Click the Column Selection tab.
    
4. Select one or more columns in the Used in view section and use the up or down arrows to change the position.
    
5. Click Apply to save your changes. If you are editing the active view, the results of the view definition are immediately visible.
    
6. Move to the next tab or click OK to save the view.
