Indeed for build-in columns too, where this option would be made available when 
the format string matches "%[ur].*".

For custom columns it would be made available when the header field has a 
FIELDCONVERT value != NULL.

It could be added here, as a checkbox item, on the dropdown menu, and enabled 
when applicable

 Sort Ascending
 Sort Descending
 No Sorting
----------------
 Resolved
----------------
 Align left
 Align center
 Align right
----------------
...

And it must be offered as an option in the column preferences dialog, of course.

Now we just have to work it into the data structures and column preference file.

Thanks,
Jaap
