Define the order of parameters for the Library table

The LibraryTable page of Preferences controls which parameters appear as columns in the Library table and in what order. Every parameter that is ticked for the Library table (its 4D / Fibr. "show in table" box in the Parameter Editor) is listed here; this page lets you arrange the order in which those columns are shown.

The numbered markers on the screenshot point to each region; the legend explains them. The ? button at the right end of the title line opens this page.
