If I understood the code correctly, you implement moving (btnMoveUp ->
MoveItem, LoadList) by managing an internal array which is modified and
then used to generate ColumnView contents from scratch? Nice idea but
this ranks among "workaround" because of two reasons:

 1) it's a ColumnView, not a ListView; we want to operate with ListView only;
 2) we want to use the ListView properties and methods (if at all possible)
    to do the move, not repopulate the ListView with changed data (we have a
    purely theoretical goal here).

I should have said that...

Tobi
