Yes, I understand: the thing is I'll have to keep several sequences
(list or vectors) of sorted rows according to the different possibilities
that I give to users to select what columns they can sort the displayed rows

But I'll do it, it's not a big deal. 

The ideal would be to have 'goops widgets, things would be much easier to
'customise. I suppose it is the plan to have gtk integrated with goops at some
time in the future

It's not so important, you probably have many other priorities, many thanks
again

that skares me, because I started developping my applications using clist
whenever I want to display database things (extracted from postgres thanks to
guile-pg), ...

what should I use instead? they seems very fast and  I doubt until, 'goops-gtk
is there, I can do better by mixing other widgets by myself ...

I agree they are very ugly: until we can pass them a sequence of goops objects,
with apropriate display funtion for each column to be displayed ... any such
things available?
