As usual, this kind of logic doesn't belong in the template.
You should do all the introspection in the view, and then have your
template display the stuff that the display passes through. This you
will have one loop over the objects (rows), and then an inner loop to
display the individual fields (columns).
Don't forget that if you want to insert table headers your logic will
need to account for a variable number of those too.
