[APBeta] Issue with new user-defined fields

[Jeff Young]

Paul --

Cool.

You do appear to have fixed my column ordering bugs, though.  (Or at least I'm not getting them anymore.)

One small nit: you used to be able to reposition the ID column to not be first, but it doesn't appear that you can anymore.  Not a deal-killer, but it would be nice....
