Changing the size/order of the columns does not take place in the three-point menu mentioned above.

To change the size of a column, move your mouse over the right edge of the corresponding column until its mouse symbol changes. Now click and hold your mouse. You can now drag your column to the left or right to make it smaller or larger.

The order can be changed by clicking and holding in the column header. You can now drag and drop the selected column to the desired position.
