Hi,

I’m spending way too much time organizing columns. with nearly a 100 columns in one table, I’m doing lots of scrolling to find the right column, despite my ability to use search and hide functions.

I learned about categorizing rows, but we can’t move an entire category left or right - or can we?

Thanks!

Can I promote this feature request in the community? It only generated 3 votes here and I believe many more people are impacted by the time it takes to manage table data…

In the meanwhile, someone sent a similar idea:

> [@Glide Builder Tweaker — Chrome Extension | Collapse/Expand Components, Workflows folders](https://community.glideapps.com/t/glide-builder-tweaker-chrome-extension-collapse-expand-components-workflows-folders/79125/46):

> One of the things I would like to do is to be able move all columns with a certain group name to eg the left. Another thing: rename a larger number of columns in one operation.
