It would be great to be able to adjust the size of the Query Builder Card column width.

__Current behavior:__
Describe what currently happens.

Difficult to see item names.

__Desired behavior:__
Describe what you want.
It would be great to be able to adjust the size of the Query Builder Card column width, either with a handle to grab and drag, or at least a toggle to double or triple the width temporarily while selecting items in a particular column, then when moving to the next column, the current one shrinks to normal size and the new current one expands.

__Alternatives considered:__
Describe other solutions or features you considered.
I have just been editing it manually.

__Use case:__
Why is this important (helps with prioritizing requests)?
It is very difficult to see items with longer names, and when it comes to IoT devices, they tend to have long names/identification, and having to hover over each one to see it's name is not very efficient.

Research direction

Start by locating the Query Builder Card implementation and inspecting how its columns are laid out. Implement a way to adjust the active column width, then verify that long item names are easier to read and that moving between columns restores the intended sizing behavior.
