I noticed that once you create an app, your columns are fixed and only appear in the order you add them afterward. This is a nightmare for organization… Is there a way to get glide to recognize how you have organized your sheet after you have created the app? If my app weren’t pro, I would delete it and rebuild it so that my columns in the component lists would make sense instead of searching all over for new/old columns… ---

Just click and drag the columns where you want them. I think Glide changed that so you can organize how you want in the builder with them intermixed with glide only columns. ---

I can click and drag in my sheet all day but they won’t show up in the component list in the order they are in on my sheet. Is there a way to make the dropdown list components offer reflect my sheet’s column order? ---

I’m not talking about the google sheet. I’m talking about inside the data editor in the glide builder. ---

Oh my god. Why has this never worked when I tried. Thank you so much. So changes in the data editor reflect in drop down lists while building/assigning visibility? ---

Yes, they should. As far as I have seen, they do. The ability to rename and reorder is fairly new. > [@memo Rename and ↔️ Rearrange is here!](https://community.glideapps.com/t/rename-and-rearrange-is-here/9230): > > My most often requested feature has arrived!!! heart_eyes ---

Yall are life savers… now if there was an option to automatically mirror your sheet’s columns so everything can be done once. ---

Closing this one, reordering columns has been available for a while. ---
