1It's ridiculous but to be knowledge it's not possible. There's a bug report here. – duxk.gh May 03 '13 at 13:45

Rhythmbox does not have this capability built in. It is a request that's been hanging around since 2003.
However, Rhythmbox does have the ability to include external plugin modules - these provide extra capabilities and because of Rhythmbox's rich API allows those modules to actually change core Rhythmbox capabilities.
Thus - this is what I've done. I've adapted my plugin called alternative-toolbar to include just this capability - you can now drag by the column header to any position you required.
before & after…
Artist has been moved to the more logical position after the title & the genre has been moved from the end to a more prominent position.
To install this, use the package rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar from my PPA as explained in this Q&A.
Alternatively, hop over onto the project website and install via Git or stable release.
In all cases you need v0.16 or later.
