This module describes how to set the field options for string, currency, integer, long integer, date, and list fields.  It also walks through how to set the column order.

When you select a table from the Tables list, the fields for that table are displayed in the Fields list. You can set whether the field is available in SmartList, whether it is displayed in the default SmartList and change the display name of the field.

When a field is added to the default SmartList, the columns will be displayed in the order that they were added. The default column order can be changed on the Columns window.
