      Summary

      Make "Title" the primary/left-most field in Calendar overview (before "Who") or allow configurable column order

      1. Steps to reproduce
      2. Open the Calendar view.
        • Create several events with:
        • A descriptive Title
      3. A long Who value (e.g., long full name, or multiple attendees)
      4. Go back to the Calendar overview/list.
      5. Observe that:
        • The Who column appears before Title.
        • The Title text is often truncated or pushed out of view, especially on smaller screens or with long Who values.

      Description

      Problem / Current behavior

      When users create and view events in the Calendar, the overview/list shows the columns in this order:

      • Who (participants/organiser)
      • Title (event title)

      If the Who value is long (for example, a full name or multiple attendees), the Title column is pushed to the right and truncated or hidden. As a result:

      • Users cannot easily see what the event is about at a glance.
      • The most important information for scanning the calendar (the event title) is often obscured.
      • This causes confusion and slows users down when working with a busy calendar.

      There is currently no setting to reorder columns or resize them in this view, so teams cannot work around this via configuration.

      Expected behavior / Proposed solution

      We would like the Calendar overview to be more readable and configurable. Specifically, one or more of the following:

      • Default change
        • Make Title appear before Who (i.e., as the first/left-most column) in the Calendar overview.
      • Configurable columns
        • Allow admins (or users) to configure:
        • Column order (e.g., drag-and-drop or preference setting)
        • Optional visibility of columns (show/hide)
        • This would allow each team to prioritize the fields that matter most (for example, Title first, then Date/Time, then Who).
      • Improved truncation/space handling (optional)
        • Ensure that Title always has enough space to show at least the beginning of the event name.
        • Optionally, provide:
        • A tooltip on hover with full Title and Who
        • Or responsive behavior that shortens Who before Title when space is limited.
