reorder_view_fields
Idempotent
Move specific fields to new positions within an Airtable view by providing a partial map of field IDs to column indices. Other fields maintain their relative order.
Instructions
Reorder the fields (columns) displayed in a view. Accepts a partial map: pass only the field IDs you want to move, e.g. { "fldX": 1 } to move fldX to position 1. Other fields keep their relative order. Index 0 is the leftmost position after the primary field. Internally the tool reads the view's current columnOrder, applies the moves, and sends the complete map (the underlying internal API rejects single-key inputs with FAILED_STATE_CHECK — user report 2026-04-30 §2.6).
