Currently, the system estimates the column widths and stores those in hidden fields. The problem is the logic here is simpler than the logic used on display.

When displaying fields, if no width is specified, it will intelligently make guesses for width based on the field type (e.g. for dates and text fields). Unfortunately, the system has already set those undefined widths to 10, at the point of rending the wizard. We need to refactor (or remove) those estimates.

The current method of defining the order doesn't seem to be working properly.

As well, showing the fields all in a long list is a sub-optimal way to do it. Offering the ordering as a set of dropdowns would be easier and would reduce the need to scroll.

As well, the list should respond to the list of selected fields from the first tab (no point on ordering by a column that doesn't exist in the report.

Alternatively, ditching this step entirely, and making the reports sortable with javascript?
