I agree. I changed the order to
#define COLUMN_PROJECT 0
#define COLUMN_PROGRESS 1
#define COLUMN_CPUTIME 2
#define COLUMN_TOCOMPLETION 3
#define COLUMN_REPORTDEADLINE 4
#define COLUMN_APPLICATION 5
#define COLUMN_NAME 6
#define COLUMN_STATUS 7
and also changed a couple of column titles
("Time remaining" -> "Remaining",
"Report deadline" -> "Deadline")
