Make Variable Explorer column headers movable

The variable explorer currently has the columns as Name -> Type -> Size -> Value, which is kind of annoying as the main thing I usually care about is Value which is way off at the end. There is no way to change this order but a simple one-liner in Qt could make the column headers draggable. In collectionseditor.py, in class BaseTableView’s def setup_table(self), simply add the one line

    def setup_table(self):
        """Setup table"""
        self.horizontalHeader().setStretchLastSection(True)
        self.horizontalHeader().setSectionsMovable(True) # <--- NEW LINE HERE
        self.adjust_columns()
        # Sorting columns
        self.setSortingEnabled(True)
        self.sortByColumn(0, Qt.AscendingOrder)

and you’re done. Note this is for BaseTableView; you could also do this instead in RemoteCollectionsEditorTableView and CollectionsEditorTableView (not sure which subclass is the best to do this in, or what other things subclass BaseTableView).

FWIW, I’d much prefer it if the default were changed to Name -> Value -> Type -> Size, but that seems more involved and I’d be happy enough with this.
