Action and view/edit/delete buttons at beginning of the table

as my practice, the view/edit/delete buttons are standalone form buttons or just a simple link, and it usually tied to each records. I'm not so sure what you mean buttons at beginning of the table? probably showing your code will help others to understand more your question

The action buttons are at the end of each index table row by default. I want the buttons at the beginning of each row, next to the ID checkbox field.

There's no code to show, because they're at the end of each row by default ^^
