Column Tools: Sort, Group, Freeze & Hide

Sort

Click on the column name directly to sort records in ascending or descending order.

 Example: Click on the “Surname” column to sort names alphabetically.

Group by

Use Group by to cluster records based on the values in the selected column.

 Example: Group employees by department or job title for a clear segmented view.

Freeze Column

Freezes the selected column so it stays visible when scrolling horizontally — ideal for keeping key identifiers like names or IDs in view.

Bonus: The frozen column is automatically moved to the first position in the table for better visibility. 

Example: Freeze the “Name” column for better context across wide tables.

Hide Column / Choose Columns…

Hide column removes the selected column from the visible view.

Choose columns… opens a dialog where you can select which columns are shown or hidden.

 Example: Hide less relevant columns to simplify your workspace or share a focused view.

Tip: Combine with “Save Active View”

Once you've customized your table using these features, you can Save the Active View to:

• Create role-specific views (e.g. HR vs. Sales).
• Build dashboards with grouped or minimal columns.
• Ensure that your settings are retained and shared across sessions or with other users.

✅ Summary

 All these settings can be saved and reused via the “Save Active View” function.
