UD Column Sequence and Disabling Input

Provide a way to control the sequence of the columns in a UD table. I have no idea how this works, but if we had some control over it, we could organize the columns in a way that makes sense and makes the data more readable. While you're at it, add the ability to "disable input" on a UD column regardless if that column is part of a UD table or not. I have no idea why that is not supported? Sometimes, we populate a column using a trigger, like to add a calculated column which is derived based on the columns in a given record. Preventing user entry in any column would be helpful and easy.

    The order does seem rather random sometimes, and since there's no standard way of setting 'column order' across all users, it makes it a bit of a pain.

    I'd also love to see the 'Disable Input' flag available in custom fields (and in columns in ud tables).

    Calculated columns ("Description fields" to Viewpoint) visibility in the grid would also be nice.
