Tables containing more than 'n' columns are configured to display the first 'n' columns and display links to toggle (add/remove) the remaining columns.
Users are advised to use phpMyAdmin to set an INDEX for columns which are often sorted/searched. Most web hosts provide phpMyAdmin in the website control panel.
Try Hostgator.com for excellent web hosting with cPanel, PHP, MySQL™ and many other features.
