Could be, but we would be pushed very hard to add the custom columns.

As for the UI, I've seen at least one app (MortPlayer Music, I think, when customising a user mini-menu) which displays a list of items (one per line) and allows the user to:
- drag item up/down into desired sequence
- tap item's icon to add/remove item from the custom mini-menu
(however, I wouldn't necessarily champion MortPlayer Music as the best role model for good overall UI design as the number of options is rather large and can be a bit confusing for the casual user).
This sounds a bit like the UI we have in CC's format/folder setup dialog. It shows a list of valid book formats. The user can reorder the list using up/down arrows, can select which formats s/he wants to receive using a check box, and can change the folder where the format will be stored.

Still thinking ...
