UI designers can ask for whatever they want. It is up to engineers to explain to management that the designers are asking for things that are not natively implemented on the platform and therefore will require significant additional engineering time. It is then management's responsibility to determine whether the UI designers feature is worth that additional engineering time. > There are lots of posts in this forum with developers asking for > horizontal scrolling and horizontal list views.

The user can drag it (scroll) back and forth. I'm not saying it's a bad idea.
