What I meant by preserved though, was that the order you nest the outputs in the Model
should be the order they're displayed in the JSP. In this situation that may not help
you, as far as I can see, so the nested elements should be named.

It's a fun one, no question :-). What you should be able to do is something like this:
Output top = res.createOutput("top");
Output row = res.createOutput("row1");
top.add(row);
start your loop.....
Output column = res.createOutput("firstColumnName");
row.add(column);
.... for each column....
then in the JSP you can retrieve each "row", then call for the columns in a specific
name order (perhaps by iterating through the collection of headers again - if you name
the *output* of each header the same as the actual column name, that might be an easy
way to do it....
HTH!
