Description

Summary

In the Donations list, the date column is in a non-ergonomic position

Why change?

Because having the date on the left makes it more human scanable across the table

Steps to replicate

  • Login as a bank (Orgadmin1)
  • in navigation view Donations > All Donations
  • View All Donations table
  • See that date column is to the right of Source

Criteria for completion / testing

  • Date column is moved to the left to be the first column
  • Tests all pass (no new tests needed)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the view file for the donations table and reorder the date column to be the first column. Ensure all existing tests pass.
