# Dimension properties

This section describes the properties that can be configured for dimensions in Finance Tables.

### **General properties**

* **Hide column in sidebar:** Hide the column from the sidebar.
* **Hide inline filter:** Hide the inline filter for this column.
* **Hide grand total:** Hide the grand total for this column.

The **Hide inline filter** option only applies when inline filters are enabled globally in the Appearance tab.

### **Default sorting**

* **Set a default sorting order:** Define the default sorting order for this column.
* **Ascending**

This option works best when storing table layout in a parameter.

### **Custom sort order**

* **Use custom sort order:** Enable a manual sort order for the values in the column.
* **Edit custom sort order:** Open the configuration window for the custom sort order.
