Can Kanban users rearrange board columns?

Question

We have team-managed Kanban boards, and one of our workflows is somewhat lengthy, with a segment that doesn't pertain to the entire team (sub-flow). As a result, we have a number of status columns on the project board that most of the users don't use/need to view.

Is there a way for Users (not Admins) to rearrange columns so that infrequently used columns can be moved "out of the way"? I have added my request to an open request for a column Show/Hide feature.

Thanks for confirming; I also confirmed that with the software team this morning. This lead to a much larger discussion about our Workflow. The good news is that the discussion made us aware that we have considerable work to do on our Workflow; the bad news is that some minds may need to change/open to the idea that it's time to start the journey to streamline/improve our process(es) and abandon "...but that's the way we've been doing it" mentality.

No, a board's settings are for the board.  If someone re-arranges a board's columns, all people viewing that board will see the changes.

As always, thanks for the prompt reply. I realize that board Admins can rearrange columns, and thus, I assume that each Member has that column arrangement when viewing the board. My question is: Can the board Members rearrange columns so that they each can have a "custom" column arrangement?

Also, my "Done" status column is labeled "Development Complete" and it isn't the rightmost column...here are the rightmost/center/leftmost column views:
