The view would be built from scratch every time (though issuing all of the *setprop()'s every time would be a nuisance), and its SQL statement could be built using the currently preferred ordering of fields. Could be done in the .Load of the form.

I agree. I posted this anyway, just because it might be useful in some other cases to someone else. Frankly, I liked the idea and wanted to have it written somewhere :)
