Description

I have thousands of Azure tables. I spend a god-awful amount of time reordering and resizing columns in the tables when I open a table for the first time. I know that once I've adjusted column order and size, Storage Explorer saves those settings, but that doesn't help with new tables that I'm opening for the first time. Does anyone know a way I can make a default order and size for columns? This would seriously save me an hour a week.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported workflow: open a new Azure table and compare its initial column order and sizes with the settings saved after manual adjustment. Identify where the table view stores those settings and determine how a user-configurable default could apply to newly opened tables; done means new tables consistently use the chosen order and sizes.
