To add a column to your view, click the down arrow to the right of COLUMNS (9 OF 57). Click the empty box next to the fields you would like to add to the view. Next to the fields that have been selected there are six dots. If you hover over the dots, the arrow will turn into a hand icon. This hand allows you to move fields up in down to reorder your list.
