Create a header
Split the cell of the header
Merge the cells of you want and you will have the desire outcome

Play of the property of the list "Column Titles" to place the column titles of the list whereever you want

Hi ,

1) Create list page header,
2) then go to structure  menu select insert list cells above /below
3) then u can merge cells which is in structure menu
4) now u can delete list page header
5) if u want main header to hide/get it down select the entire list in under general properties "column titles"u can select it to at the start of details/ hide it

Thanks

HI ,

For 3 or 4 headers u can use option add list row cells how many u need,
in the "classes" property u can apply  list header  to it.

Thanks,
