Move _time column

SarahBOA
Path Finder

Hi -

I have tried using both timechart and stats a combination of bucket and stats. I want to display the count of items before I display the time and in both of these cases, using the fields and the table commands to specify order does not work. If I change the column from _time to Time and use an strftime I can then display the count column first, but this causes and issue with the drill down. Is it possible to display the _time column NOT in the first column?

Thanks,
Sarah

Not with the SimpleResultsTable module.

And the Sideview Table module tends to put _time first as well. However if you give the Sideview Table module an explicit "fields" param, it will use that ordering no matter what.
