Alternatively you can use the [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#4|keyboard shortcuts]] {{man key press|CTRL|N}} and {{man key press|CTRL|P}} go to the next or previous category respectivelyor use [[Gramps_4. 2_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#45|keyboard shortcuts]] {{man key press|CTRL|Alt|<number>}} (Only available for the first 10 categories eg Repositories/Media/Notes miss out.) If you have hidden the [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Navigator|Navigator]] this will be the only way to change categories (unless you turn the navigator on again).

A category can contain different ways of presenting the data, called a View. If there are several views, you can switch between the views. The way you change between the views depends on the viewing mode. In some viewing modes, there is an icon button on the toolbar to switch to a different view. You can also switch via the menu {{man menu|View}}, or the [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#6|keybindings]] by pressing {{man key press|CTRL|Alt|<number>}}, where <number> is the view you want in this category.{{-}} == Column Editor == {{man note| Column Editor |The Column Editor is available in all Views and works the same way in each.}} [[Image:Column-editor-40.png|right|thumb|250px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Column Editor Dialog]] 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 by calling up the {{man label|Column Editor}} dialog from the menu {{man menu|View -> Configure View...}} or click on toolbar {{man button|Configure View...}} button and then checking or unchecking the boxes listed. You can also change the position of a column in People View by clicking and dragging it to a new position in the Editor ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag-and-drop ''drag and drop'']). Once you have made the changes you want, click {{man button|OK}} to exit the Editor and see your changes in the View. 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. See also [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Column_Editor]]{{-}}=== Sorting columns === [[File:People-category-list-view-sort-birth-date-column-example-42.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Example of sorting "Birth Date" column in People Category - List View]] Clicking once sorts in ascending order, clicking again sorts in descending order. The {{man label|Column Editor}} dialog can be used to add, remove and rearrange the displayed columns, or to change the default sorting of the view [though always ascending].
