Hmm...  I could have sworn...  But now that I test it, while the column 
widths drag-n-drop (probably what I remembered, compounded with column 
drag-n-drop from my kde/plasma desktop), the columns themselves do not, 
they only flip sort order when I attempt to drag them.

So you appear to be correct, and either I remember incorrectly about the 
columns themselves dragging, or you're correct on the it's a version 
(likely gtk) supposition as well.

But luckily, the up/down arrows in prefs/headers, as mentioned by someone 
else, /do/ work to change the order.  So probably that's what I used when 
I reordered them a bit way back when, and I'm simply mis-remembering the 
column dragging from some other app.

(Which bothers me.  Now I'm wondering what else I'm mis-remembering.  
Sort of like that time I dreamed something that seemed so real, and that 
wasn't obviously incorrect on its face, that I only figured out like two 
weeks later that it wasn't real, when I realized that something else that 
I actually had proof that it happened couldn't have happened if the first 
thing I thought happened had actually happened.  Events like that make 
one begin to doubt their sanity, and it's... unsettling... to say the 
least!  Luckily that dream thing was back before the turn of the century, 
as if it had happened in the last few months I'd /really/ be getting 
worried!)

So yeah, chalk one up to "better actually test it before posting"!  And 
thanks!  However embarrassing and disturbing it is to be found wrong like 
that, I'd a whole lot rather be disabused of my illusions, yes, even 
publicly, than to never know about them in the first place!
