Good timing! This week I’ve started updating the directory to move away from a `<table>` to a more flexible div layout that recreates the table layout using CSS grid. So if you can wait a week or two this should be the new default.

Otherwise you’d have to override our [default template here](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/ba3f62f576068035bc8fbda615e595960cd4520c/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/components/directory-table.hbs) from within a theme. We have some details about template overrides in [Developing Discourse Themes & Theme Components](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-developing-discourse-themes/93648#overriding-discourse-templates-23)
