Oh, man...I'm right there with ya! Especially since we can also create our own custom views with any info we want, this one feature is a substantial improvement. I was never a software developer with Microsoft Windows in mind, but I don't understand why we can't also adjust the sizes (widths) of each column. Shouldn't that be a standard capability? The first application to pop in my tiny brain is Windows Explorer and the width adjustments one can do if wanted. There are instances when the column heading(s) are truncated because of asterisks applied (Fig. 1) when using the extremely helpful Filter capability. 90% of OOTP'ers will probably never see those instances, however, so no real harm is done.

P.S. This new capability might actually be a bad thing, at least for me. I have literally spent hours upon hours managing my teams' rotations, lineups, and depth charts and it's all because I can now arrange data is my own crazy ways. In the last two days I've probably logged 8-10 hours in OOTP, maybe more, and I have advanced a total of 7 days in 1984. I use 6-Man rotations in my Rookie and Rookie+ leagues and I needed to see how a full turn through the rotations worked out for my Yankees and 6 other farm teams. Reports thus far seem very good. Big thanks to the Developers!!!

Figure 1. Notice the column for Age. Also, look at that width for the (G) column. That's too wide for Games. If only we could re-size that.
