I would like to see the Description value for fields be able to be a column in the Field Properties window.  Right now you have to click on every single field to see more info about it.  I am assigning basic descriptions to many fields and if the description field could be visible as a column, I could quickly sort on it.  As an example I am about to use fields as pseudo tags.  I'd like to be able to quickly identify all the fields I've set up to use as tags.  Similarly, I'd like to be able to see all email related fields, all to-do related fields etc. and I could do that by giving them an appropriate prefix in the description field and then sorting by that column.
 
Thanks Pierre.

My 2 c:
- As long as this doesn't make data entry more complicated (e.g.  if we had to tab a few times to change columns to switch between field name and data entry;  as right now "search as you type" in the fieldsname column is convenient and super fast to travel in the pane, and tab to move back and forth between the data entry column &the fieldsname column).
- And as long as columns can be removed/hidden as they would add width to the properties pane.

I think that Dave is referring to the Field properties dialog, not the Properties pane...
