https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/sorting-columns-in-attribute-tables/m-p/1075183#M42860 <P>I'm working with ArcGIS Pro 2.8. I have an attribute table whose columns I want to keep in chronological order, but when I try to drag and sort them, they return to their original order. Is there a way to make them keep the order I put them in? As well, is there a way to sort them automatically?</P><P>Additional information that might be relevant: these columns were added by intersecting using the geoprocessing tool Extract Multi Values to Points.
