= Default query columns

== Description

This is a plugin to add an `default_cols` option to set the columns to display be default on query pages. This is bad coding practice, because it uses `post_process_request` to modify the `col` query string argument, but works. Adding this functionality to core is being worked on at [trac:#10425].
