Where do you intend to display that? Should this be a configuration
module then? Or should it pop up on RMB click on the column headings? Or
embedded into the submenu?

Another idea would be something like the Netscape mailer does. Two
little arrows right to the column headings where you can move items in
and out. But that wouldn´t help us if we want to support the displaying
of other fields in the IconView as well. There´s no column header.

So, either sub menu or dialog, with the pros and cons Rich mentioned.
