Whew - you had me worried momentarily - I mean the Book List, the panel in the middle, order specified in Define Columns - see piccies

Comments, a predefined longtext column, must go at the end of book details, but custom longtext can go anywhere I please, except after Comments

Thanks - Search is not something I do much, I've never opened Prefs->Search, not even sure I was cognizant of its existence

Any thoughts on the performance impact of adding a 2-3K chunk of HTML to each book. Now that I know how to exclude them from search I will, so the only thing Calibre will do with the HTML is to render it in the Book Details.
