I'm trying to arrange things in columns, visually.

Physically, I'm arranging them left-to-right, top-to-bottom.

However, I want the columns to appear to be arranged
vertically.

This is trivial when the total number of items matches divides
evenly, but is a bit more complex when they don't (and I
need the initial columns to be longer).

Ultimately, since the data about what each of these things
is split across several arrays, I think what I really want is
the indices into those original arrays.  Thus, I wind up wanting
indices arranged like:

0  6 11
1  7 12
2  8 13
3  9 14
4 10 15
5

I don't really care what's in the two positions I left blank,
because I'll never be referencing those indices.

Thanks,
