Wheee, still probably needs a button to toggle the panel but it looks fine, see the splitter on the right:
The splitter on the right edge is not very discoverable, and the fact that it must be dragged to the left feels ass-backwards… but I don't have a better suggestion.

However, once the attributes panel has been bought into view then, providing one taps Apply, the panel persists. I.E. next time CH is used the attributes panel will be in its previous state.

How about I move our Column Helper related posts in this thread to the CH plugin thread?

I spent centuries deciding if plugin name should be Columns Helper or Column Helper...

If anything it seems to be more muddled… even in the list. I moved the ID column.

New test version adds Move to top and Move to bottom buttons, you're welcome to try it. I haven't caught any muddling on my own tests.

I gave it my Books, Periodicals and Media libraries - no muddling.

So I suspect it's just my Test library. Whilst Library check reports no errors, columns-wise it's a shambles (i.e. 80 custom columns). I won't be using the plugin so I am not interested in trying to figure out the muddling. I can send you the metadata.db file if you're interested.

Yes I'd like to take a look, and thanks for the tests. My main library eventually turned into sort of a test one, so I currently have a similar number of columns.
