Answers.Text: Views within Drupal - there is excellent CiviCRM integration with Views out of the box to use Civi data in Views.  Also, I edited my answer above to show how to display Views on the dashboard. Super powerful!

  <p>I am just beginning to explore customizing CiviCRM. I have a lot of questions. Any answers to the following question will give me a better foundation upon which to explore my other questions.</p>
  
  <p>On the dashboard, the activity dashlet shows the date but not the time of day.</p>
  
  <p>What php or template file do I change to make the time part show? The time does show when I do a search for activities.</p>
  
  <p>Also, what do I change to make the time the first column in the report?</p>

  An excellent question - the Advanced Date Settings don't seem to affect the report.
  
  You can try to make it a type of "timestamp" in civiroot/CRM/Report/Form/Activity.php. You might also want to build your report in Views. If you choose this approach, you'll want to install [the Drupal Views in CiviCRM Dashlets module](https://civicrm.org/blogs/brandonferrell/drupal-views-civicrm-dashlets)
