# Reordering Fields and Columns

> Customize how your Collection fields and columns appear in different views.

Keep your Collections organized by customizing how your fields and columns appear. You can control the **default order of fields** in your Collection, as well as the **column order in specific views**.

## Reorder Fields in Your Collection

Changing the order of fields affects how they're displayed on **individual item pages** and sets the **default order** for all new views.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open the configure menu **(⋯)** at the top of your Collection
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Select **Configure Collection** from the menu
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the Configure Collection window, **drag and drop** your fields to reorder them. You can also add new fields or remove existing ones here.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Your new order will apply automatically across all items in the Collection and to any new views you create.

## Reorder Columns in a View

You can also rearrange columns for a **specific view**. This gives you flexibility to customize what's visible and how it's arranged without changing your Collection's default field order.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open the configure menu **(⋯)**
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Select **Show/Hide Fields**
  </Step>

  <Step>
    **Drag and drop** the fields to reorder the columns as you like. You can toggle which fields you'd like to display in your view here.

  </Step>
</Steps>

This only changes the layout for the current view – your default field order and other views remain the same.

<Info title="Gallery View">
  In Gallery View, field visibility controls which properties appear on each card. The order in Show/Hide Fields determines the display order on each card.
</Info>

<Tip>
  Use **field reordering** to create a consistent structure across your Collection, and **column reordering** when you want a tailored layout for a particular view.
