Hi

it took me some reading the docs and trying out of some commands and I got what you are looking for 😉

the easiest way is to rename _raw to anything and use the new field name in the table:

 soucetype="mydata" | rename _raw as newraw | table newraw, Recieved, Sent

there are probably more effective ways of doing this, but it worked for example you provided and it answers your question.

cheers,

Best way to do it as below
soucetype="mydata" | rename _raw as newraw | table Recieved, Sent, newraw
it will adjust raw data at most right position.

rakesh, sorry but I hope you are aware that you can scroll a windows not only up and down but also to the left or to the right? _raw is usually very long, therefore received and sent are WAY ON THE RIGHT of your screen.
