Sounds super-customizable. I assume you mean the sort the playlist
part of the browser. Hiding columns is easy in gtk. Re-ordering
may be trickier.

I already know how to implement column sorting in Gtk for linux. I
also see that there is a menu chock full of Sort by <X> items.

I really really want to add a great search capability. I would like
it to use regex searching. I think I prefer seeing a separate list of
all the matches at once. I have not decided on the best interface yet.
I think I will hold off until the string storage has been rewritten
(the "freestore" proposals).
Could the windows version access a regex library?
(Is that the GNU version or POSIX or BSD?)
Otherwise only the unix port would have regex.
