I just wanted to share this more general Launchpad bug about columns in the web client:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1645861 Too many, too few, and unintuitively named columns are a constant source of frustration for library staff members and it would be great to hammer out column picker lists that enhance usability for everyone. One other thing I wanted to mention: if you're trying to find a column in a long list and you know it's name, Ctrl+f (Find) works to locate it in the list. This is definitely a workaround, but it gets the job done when you just really need to find a particular column. Hope this helps, Michele -- Michele M.
