Feature: Allow Manual Reordering of Columns in Details View

[isra655]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Hi team 👋
First of all, thank you for the amazing work on Files — it's a beautiful and efficient alternative to the default Windows File Explorer.
I’d like to suggest a feature that I believe would improve usability for many users: the ability to manually reorder columns in the Details view.
Currently, while we can enable or disable columns, their order appears to be fixed. It would be incredibly helpful to allow users to drag and drop column headers to rearrange them, or to provide a settings panel where column order can be customized.
This feature is available in the classic File Explorer and is especially useful for workflows that depend on specific metadata visibility (e.g., sorting by tags, file types, or modified dates).
Thanks again for considering this, and keep up the great work!
Best regards,
Israel
