As a migrant from Airtable I am very used to being able to reorder columns in a view and it only changing the order of that specific view. For example I would have the Default View in reference order for each troubleshooting, but in other views order them based on workflow.
Is there any chance this could be added to SeaTable? A lot of my users have asked for this as well
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your experience coming from Airtable!
In our current design, we have deliberately chosen to keep the column order synchronized across all views within a base to ensure simplicity and consistency. This approach ensures that the table remains a “single source of truth,” preventing confusion where a column might seem “missing” simply because its position varies between views.
However, we understand that specific workflows often require tailored layouts. To address this, we are planning to introduce a feature that will allow you to uniquely reorder columns on the table pages of the Universal App Builder.
This will allow you to:
Keep your core data table simple and consistent for general management.
Build custom “App” interfaces for your users where the column order is specifically optimized for their unique workflows.
Let us know if you have any other suggestions!
That sounds perfect! Thanks for the help!
Do it like thousands of other people who have used SeaTable to develop powerful processes and get their ideas and tasks done more efficiently.
