You can customize how Event Viewer displays events by configuring the order in which properties appear in the details pane.

To change the order of event properties

  1. Start Event Viewer.

  2. In the console tree, navigate to and select an event log, custom view, or saved log.

  3. On the View menu, click Add/Remove Columns.

  4. On the Add/Remove Columns dialog box, in Displayed columns, click the event property you want to reorder.

  5. Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to position the property.

  6. Click OK.

Additional Considerations

  • Properties at the top of the Displayed columns list will appear on the left side of the details pane.

  • Property order is retained between sessions.
