Many dashboards contain pivot tables or lists. For almost all, you can re-order the table based on a single column by clicking the sort filter icon next to the the table column header:
Additionally, when data contains values that are wider than the standard column width, you can make a column wider by hovering over the header and moving to the border of that column and the adjacent column where a hand icon will appear. As soon as it does, press your mouse and drag the column to its desired width and let go.
Occasionally, due to caching, your browser may store table sorting from previous dashboards. If the sorting of your table is off, you can either manually re-order the data as you need to, or clear the cache in your browser.
