Or Move Before and Move After. Another mild irritation comes from the
fact that I have to sort the visible and invisible columns in a single
list, but any alternative two-list design would probably be much more
complicated and space consuming - e.g. the galeon1.2 toolbar
customization. But this brings up another point: this dialog is
conceptually very similar to a toolbar customization dialog; both let
the user select a subset of items from a list of available items and
order the selected items. Can we make this column chooser dialog
abstract enough to allow it to be used for toolbars as well ?
