add a Set column

How to do it

The Layout menu option (Ctrl + L) offers a tab headed Extra Set column.

 

extra_set_column

 

Here you can click to add a column (and delete any extra set columns created).

 

The point of it

is to aid in filtering and sorting your data. In this example, the word pig has been classified in the original set column according to whether it is Fictional, a Commodity, an Idiomatic usage, or Abuse. In the Set 2 column a further classification has been used to signal Positive or Negative contexts. It has been sorted on the Set 2 column.
