Re: Regarding column reordering project for GSoc 2012

HI Alvaro,
I did send a complete description to the mailing list, based on your past discussions. I don’t know if you got it.

Please let me know if I should re-send the mail trail.

I don't see how having a middle layer client-side would fix anything.
You'd need to explain how it'd work, but to me that description sounds
bogus.
