The columns of the list views may be added, removed, or reordered in a {{man label|Column Editor}} dialog. To use the {{man label|Column Editor }} dialogfor the current view, choose via the menu {{man menu|View ->➡ Configure View...}} or , click on toolbar {{man button|Configure View...}} buttonor pressing the ''Configure active view'' [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#Common_keybindings|keyboard keybinding]]. Only checked columns with a selected checkbox will be shown in the view. You can also change the position of a column in People the View by clicking and dragging it to a new position in the Editor ([httphttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag-and-drop ''drag and drop'']). Once you have made the changes you want click {{man button|Apply}}, then click {{man button|OK}} to exit the Editor and see your changes in the View.
By default, the View List, displays several columns of information about the respective category. You can add or remove columns to and from the display
The default sort key for the view [always ascending] is the left-most field [i.e. at the top in the Column Editor], so changing which field is in that position affects default sorting.
[[File:ConfigurePersonView-51.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Column Editor - Dialog - Places example]]The {{man label|Column Editor}} dialog will have a different selection of columns for each category of View that displays a simple table.
Changes will only be enacted when the {{man button|Apply}} button is clicked.
Once the View columns changes have been applied, clicking once on the column header sorts in ascending order, clicking again sorts in descending order.
The subset of columns and the current [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters|filters]] will also constrain the data exported via the {{Man menu|Family Trees ➡ [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Export_View|Export View...]]}}
