Locate the directory style as explained in Locating directory style in the configuration.

hmtoggle_plus1Change order of columns

The order of columns is the creation order in the configuration.

1.Select entire node from <ColStyle Name="... till </ColStyle> and cut it to the clipboard.

2.Make an empty line where you want to paste it, and then paste it.

Note: stay within the same <DirectoryStyle>.
hmtoggle_plus1Delete a column

Select entire node from <ColStyle Name="... till </ColStyle> and delete it.
hmtoggle_plus1Rename a column

Locate <ColStyle Name= and change the name. Make sure it is unique.
hmtoggle_plus1Change column width

Locate the width parameter in (example) <ColStyle Name="Type" SortName="Type" Width="100">, and change the value.
hmtoggle_plus1Change column style

See Examples of column styles.
hmtoggle_plus1Add a new column

If you know the attribute name, search all xxx_config.xml files for the attribute - it is likely you may find a ready-to-copy example.

If you find it, copy it, and paste it in a new line of the parent directory style. If the search fails, find the closest example, and then modify it according to your needs. See also Examples of column styles.

Reimport the configuration file as explained in Re-importing configuration file in the database after making changes.
