Headed Lists boxes

Hi Doug

I saw your post 7 Aug about being able to manipulate headed list boxes:-

“on the other hand, a headed list box offers a whole lot of good so we use it in about 99% of our application. things such as:
easily hiding and showing columns
easily dragging columns from one place to another
easily extending the application if you add one more column to your list
ability to fix the first few columns in a list so that they can?t be scrolled off window
some ability to do entry into some columns”

I am on 4.2.1 and would like to be able drag columns with their headings and also be able to enter values in a column but cannot see where or how to do it.

Whilst I can move a column with Do i_List.$cols.5.$ident.$assign(3), the headings remains in the original position, not moving with the column which is unhelpful

Would love to know how you do it please.

As an aside, I have also been trying to see how a user can determine the field order when defining a list (prior for export data for different customers requirements). I have tried

Define list {i_Field_names} where the variable has the field names with commas spacing,in various ways using [ ] etc without success. Can it be done?
