Here's how I configured it

Then I select ID visible False, column\_3 is gone. ID is last 🥲

I don't understand. Shouldn't the ID be hidden 🫤

It looks like the `field` property for your 3rd column should be "Operation", not "column\_3"

edit: Wait, that's a new screenshot...  
Just make sure the `field` corresponds to the actual column's name.

This is updated

```python
columns:
[
    {
        "field": "ID",
        "visible": false,
        ...
    },
    {
        "field": "Name",
        "visible": true,
        ...
    },
    {
        "field": "column_3",
        "visible": true,
        "viewPath": "Page/Edit",
        "header": {
            titel: "Operation"
        }
        ...
    }
]

See [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831). You will then be able to preserve indentation and apply syntax highlighting.

Case matters. `Name` is not the same as `name`.

This is the normal configuration, I think the sorting icon shows the configuration is correct
