John:
Years ago I used App. Express to create applications. But, then I began editing the 
.APP file and recompiling. This gives all the controll you need. You have R:Code to 
help with that.

The custom code you are shying from working on is one line. It exists, all you need do 
is shuffle the columns to the sequence you desire.

Hope this helps.
