Header class can be created programmatically using DEFINE CLASS ....
Indexing every field in table may slow down things, but on what point depends on specific situation. Basically, users should be entitled to sort on fields which are really important from business standpoint. Also, it's arguable to put all tables and all records of them in grids.
