I don’t think there are any built-in things without getting deep into java (some googling on java swing freeze columns had some answers, but I’m not sure they’re do-able in Ignition)

But, there is a previous thread where one user seems to figure it out - [here](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/freeze-table-column/1621/7?u=mrogers).
