Hi Filip, I have already implemented the code to allow changing the order of the columns (on MS Windows only, because wxWidgets provides support for this only on MS Windows) and select which ones to display or hide (on all platforms.) These changes are committed in the master branch and will be deployed in the 7.6 version of BOINC.
The idea of saving multiple profiles is an interesting one which we will consider.
