Right @RylandHerrick - the problem is that the current set of fields I see in "Customize Columns" doesn't include some specific event fields that I'm interested in being able to sort on.

Therefore, I need the ability to include some custom fields in this set. I saw that this was possible for the events table, but I'm not sure if the same is true for the alerts table.

Here's the post on customizing it for events: [SIEM -- Event Columns (Only Default Category)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/siem-event-columns-only-default-category/234478)
