display are numbers.
It's not just the 261 votes for that request that matter. Those of
us using the product now are a small number compared to those we
need to see using it five years from now. It's that much-larger
audience of newcomers who will need it most, so they can just drop
it in and move on to more interesting things like learning arcane
SQL syntax, and along the way gain the feeling that they couldn't
possibly use anything else because anything else would be too much
work.

I was tired and went to sleep for awhile. I agree about the
independent column
alignment. You would always have to justify a whole column instead
of 1 item.
And every time you resized the column it would need to justify it the
column again
which would lead to big problems. But it could be used in special
cases where
the programmer does not want the user to be allowed to resize coiumns
or the
rows are limited. Another quick solution might be justify only what
is visible on
screen and a little bit past or just use a paging system instead of
scrolling.
But some of the other options would work real good for a lot of
people and the
whole concept of making each item become as many different buttons as
you
want will work too. These things could open the doors to fields in
new ways.
It needs to all be done by the Rev team with preferences that can be
turned on
and off like other field preferences but it shows what Rev needs for
the next
Revolution in programming and many parts can be worked in pretty easy.
