   - **Alphabetical** or **Reverse alphabetical**
   - **Manual order**: Drag groups under "Visible groups" to reorder
   - Click the **eye icon** next to a group to hide it

## When to Use Table Views

Table views work best for:
- **Browsing large datasets** — scan many records quickly
- **Data entry** — edit multiple records efficiently
- **Detailed analysis** — see many fields at once
- **Sorting and filtering** — find specific records
