Re: Reorder table columns

If adding extra stuff to the table headers I would also recommend
using the abbr attribute on the th cell to avoid the additional
buttons getting read as headers when navigating throught the rest of
the table with a screen reader.
i.e.
<th abbr="Last Name">Last Name <button>Move last name
left</button><button>Move last name right</button></th>
