More Flexibility With Grid Views
The University of Virginia has A LOT of saved grid views across all of their grids (opportunity, application, general app. etc.). While creating these customized views they found a few quirks that they did not feel were intuitive enough for them.
- When de-selecting columns to display within a grid view, and then adding them back in, they found it too time consuming to have to re-organize the column order within the grid view itself (since when you add columns back in they show up at the end). They would prefer to have the ability to organize the columns via the "Change visible columns" selector.
- They also have a lot of fields that they import with long field names, they find it too time consuming to have to expand the column out within the grid view to see the name of the field. They would prefer to be able to hover their mouse over the column header and have the full name display (much like how the help text functions).

Please see similar request from Wisconsin-Madison in the merged enhancement, description below:
"When creating grid views, users must either a) select the columns they want in the order that they want them or b) drag/drop to make the order appear the way that they want. If possible, I think being able to drag and drop from the column selection pop-up would be the easiest method for both selecting your columns and setting the order.
Additionally, this pop-up disappears too easily when the mouse wanders. Having this "stick" would resolve some user frustration"
