In older Wireshark, you may have to go to Edit->Preferences->User
Interface->Columns to reorder columns.

Not sure what's not working with your installation but you can drag'n'drop
columns to change their order. I do it a few times a week.

Subject: Re: [Wireshark-users] Disabling Port Number Translation

Thanks to all that responded.

The disable transport name resolution didn't quite work.  It did get rid of
the port name translations in the Informtion column.  Unfortunately, for
some upper level protocols that have interpreters; i.e. DNS, MAPI, etc.; it
got rid of the port numbers completely.

The real solution was to change the columns in the User Interface to add
the Src Port (unresolved) and Dst Port (unresolved) columns.  The problem
that I ran into with this is that the "Add" button doesn't allow you to add
the column immediately following the currently selected column. It only
appends the column to the end of the list.  Also, there is no drag-and-drop
feature to allow you to re-rder the columns.

Deleting the existing columns and then add the columns in the desired order
was simply an inconvenience.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

I just downloaded the 32-bit Windows version of Wireshark 1.2.4 to look
at packets.  I looked in Preferences but can't find where to force Wireshark
to display numeric port numbers.

Translating port numbers to names wouldn't be so irritating if the
ephemeral port used in the connection was left in its numeric form.

Enough of the tirade, where do I disable port number translation in
Preferences?  I do want the numeric port number displayed.
