Drag-and-Drop for Columns and Rows

When working in any table/grid, the columns and rows can be dragged and dropped into an order more useful to the user. Reorganizing a grid will save the new layout on a per account basis, so it will always appear in the desired order unless reset.

Note: You cannot reorganize any unposted session grids except for the Manage Sessions grid.

Columns: To drag-and-drop columns, click into the column heading and then drag that column left or right until it is in the desired order.

Rows: To drag-and-drop rows, click into any cell in the row and then drag that row up or down until it is in the desired order.

Reset Grid: The Reset Grid button will reset the specific table to its default order.

Control+Selection: While holding down the Control key, use the mouse to select non-adjoining rows of data.
