The javadoc for Table.getColumns() doesn't say whether the returned
array is in display order, creation order or some other order. Does
anyone know off-hand?

Table.getColumns() returns columns in index order. This is not neccessarily
the left to right visual order. For left to right visual order use
Table.getColumnOrder(). Index order is not quite the same as creation order
because you can create columns with an index value and insert columns in the
index order.

That complicates things even further. The javadoc for getColumnOrder()
indicates that it maps display order to creation order. If that is
correct, but getColumns returns index order, then you have an array of
columns in index order with no means to map them to display order.

I'll assume that the javadoc for getColumnOrder() is incorrect and it
maps display order to index order.

Thanks
Chris

Table.getColumnOrder() returns an array of int. The int values are the
indices of the columns and the array is in the visible display order.
