Button to Apply the Same Column Order to ALL Grid Views

Currently, when you create different Grid Views in your Baserow Tables and then start to add additional columns (Fields) to your Table, those fields are added always to the right of the table. We normally move those newly inserted columns somewhere left where they make logically more sense to be show.

The problem is now we need move the newly inserted columns for each Grid View. This is especially a problem if you are developing your table and then over time want to add more information. Its very time-consuming to update all this and keep the Grid Views showing consistent.

This means, if you want all your Grid Views to show the same Order of Columns - in a logical manner - then you have update Grid View by Grid View individually which is quite time-consuming and error prone.

Grid Views in our way of using only different by the filters and sorters we apply. We always want to see the columns showing up in the same order.

In your View Dropdown Menu, wouln’t it be possible to show a CheckBox “Apply Fields Displayed in the same Order for all Grid Views”? and a checkbox for each Grid View to use the Default View or uncheck if you really want to show columns in a different order.

This would make the grid views a bit more user-friendly.
Just a suggestion.

Hello @artoflogic, thanks for providing the context. I see your point and I’ll discuss your request with the team. :ok_hand:

I’ve discussed your idea with the team. We think this feature might address your needs: Copy configurations from one view to another (#2668) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab. It’s already planned for implementation. :slightly_smiling_face:
