[PD] change list order according to their first element

[patko]

hi again, I forgot one point, sorry,
 
(I couldn't try it right now because of lots of issues with pd on vista...)

before you have to make a list with one item of each column,
with [list split 1] for example, then it's length will give you the number of columns

and then prepend the entire list with the [$1 4 #( message, where $1 is the length,
before sorting it.

delivre*
