# Changing dataset column order

## Applies to v4.5 and later.

Dataset columns are initially organised in the order they were created, but it is possible to arrange them in an order that is more suited to your needs. 

**To change the dataset column order:**

1. Edit the dataset **Main Menu -> Dataset Builder -> Edit Dataset.**  
   ![DatasetMenuEdit](https://help.intuitivebusinessintelligence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DatasetMenuEdit.jpg?width=368&name=DatasetMenuEdit.jpg)
2. To re-order the columns, firstly toggle your dataset to a *List-View* by selecting the list view ![dash33-1](https://help.intuitivebusinessintelligence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/dash33-1.png?width=24&name=dash33-1.png) Icon to the top right of the dataset. The resulting view should look like this:  
   ![DatasetColumnOrder](https://help.intuitivebusinessintelligence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DatasetColumnOrder.jpg?width=688&name=DatasetColumnOrder.jpg)**Note**: You can toggle back to the standard *Data-View* via the ![dash34-1](https://help.intuitivebusinessintelligence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/dash34-1.png?width=26&name=dash34-1.png) Icon.
3. You can now reorder the columns by dragging-and-dropping them (up/down) to their new positions via the icon on the left of each column name.
4. Using this view, you can also quickly and easily edit columns inline.
5. Once you have reordered the columns to your liking, save ![sc62](https://help.intuitivebusinessintelligence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/sc62.png?width=33&name=sc62.png) your dataset.
