How to reorder the columns in a grid

Drag a column header sideways to move it, so the columns you read first sit at the left of the grid instead of off the right-hand edge.

Updated 9/16/2026

Freightools list screens all use the same grid, and you can move its columns around. It is worth
two minutes: the column you check on every row belongs at the left, not off the right-hand edge
behind a horizontal scrollbar.

Move a column

  1. Open a list screen — Customers, Suppliers, Sales Proposals or any other grid.
  2. Put the pointer on the header of the column you want to move.
  3. Click and hold the header. It lifts off the row as a floating tag.
  4. Drag it sideways to where you want it.

  5. Release the mouse button. The column drops into place and the others close up around it.

Note: Dragging a header moves the column. Clicking it sorts by it, and the small arrows at
the edge of a header are the sort control — so click, do not drag, when you want to sort.

To remove a column from the grid altogether rather than move it, use the Column Picker — see
How to show or hide grid columns.
