(and optionally wxListCtrl::OnGetItemImage or wxListCtrl::OnGetItemColumnImage and
wxListCtrl::OnGetItemAttr) to return the information about the items when the
control requests it.

Virtual list control can be used as a normal one except that no operations
which can take time proportional to the number of items in the control happen
-- this is required to allow having a practically infinite number of items.
<b>wxMac Note</b>: Starting with wxWidgets 2.8, wxListCtrl uses a native
implementation for report mode, and uses a generic implementation for other
modes. You can use the generic implementation for report mode as well by setting
- the @c mac.listctrl.always_use_generic system option (see wxSystemOption) to 1.
-
- <b>wxMSW Note</b>: In report view, the control has several columns
- which are identified by their internal indices. By default, these indices
- correspond to their order on screen, i.e. the column 0 appears first (in the
- left-to-right or maybe right-to-left if the current language uses this writing
- direction), the column 1 next and so on. However it is possible to reorder the
- columns visual order using SetColumnsOrder() method and the user can also
- rearrange the columns interactively by dragging them. In this case, the index
- of the column is not the same as its order and the functions GetColumnOrder()
- and GetColumnIndexFromOrder() should be used to translate between them.

+ results in the third column being displayed first, the first one next
+ and the second one last.
+
+ Example of using it:
+ @code
+ wxListCtrl *list = new wxListCtrl(...);
+ for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ )
+ list->InsertColumn(i, wxString::Format("Column %d", i));
+

+ order[0] = 2;
