How to adjust column order when entering Bills

My bookkeeper noticed one day when entering in a customer bill that the order of the columns had changed under the Items tab. It used to have the CUSTOMER:JOB before the CLASS when entering the bill. Now they are reversed (see attached). We have multiple companies we run through Quickbooks and it is only this way on one of the companies - and only on the bill entry screen (credit card entry did not change). How do we change it back to the original order of entry?

Right click on the Bill table and choose Customize Columns.

Then change the column order and even the columns that appear to suit.

    Thank you. I'm not seeing that option when I right-click. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Or maybe it's in a different version? I have QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2022.

    So after I said it worked for me, I went back and realized it had not worked. It was correct under the 'Expenses' tab, but not the 'Items' tab. It makes no sense that there is not a way to fix this, when it was not originally like this. We just logged in one day and it had changed order.

    That's exactly what happened to me. When I did my my backup on Thursday, everything was normal. When I opened my company file on Friday morning, I immediately noticed the change when I began entering bills from my suppliers.

    I never was able to resolve the problem.

    I just restored from my last good backup and reentered the missing transactions. It was only 3 days worth of transactions and took just a few hours.
