Good post for on-prem, but was looking for something for SPO. Came across this post and it works well using JSON, try out https://code2care.org/q/how-to-wrap-column-text-in-sharepoint-online-modern-list-grid-view-using-json-formatting

Content Editor Web Part was added above the Allitems.aspx or SP list items for my site. I added the script above to the html source which worked beautifully but after I applied the changes. The Allitems.aspx items (list items containing 730 records) are no longer showing. Can you help please?

In reply to shawna. Maybe, set the text-size to a smaller value, i.e. 9pt?

Hello I would like for it to wrap smaller than it did, how would I do that?

Known issue… When you add a web part to a list page SP doesn’t display those tabs anymore…
There are permanent fixes out there e.g.: http://www.pentalogic.net/sharepoint-products/free-stuff/view-rescue
A quick-fix way to see these ‘lost’ tabs I found is to…
– click in the List/library search dialog (not directly on the magnifying glass though) or
– select any of the list/library items,
– click to the right of the list (assuming the columns don’t fill the width of the screen)
the tabs should now appear, but this is not a permanent fix, you’ll have to do this every time the list reloads.

In reply to Pearlyn. Yes, that's because you added the web part for CSS style on the page. I believe you can click inside the list to have the items & lists menu to show up again.

I used this however it causes my ribbon with “Items” & “List” to disappear. Why is that so?

This code applies to the column contents as well. I just want to wrap and center my column titles, not the data content.
