I think it has a lot of merit because of its simplicity, but it doesn't deal well with large screens. I am thinking of something similar but with two checkboxes, or better three radio buttons. The area underneath the first lines would be divided into equal-sized left and right containers. The radio buttons would be labeled "Left", "Hide", "Right" (or something like that). Things marked "left" would be shown in the left hand container in the order encountered on the list, and the same for right.
I also wouldn't put any size restraints on it. Let the cell take up as much space as it needs, even if it exceeds the height of the cover.
There are some potentially "interesting" performance issues that would need thought. In particular, I don't want to be doing a lot of dynamic processing while flinging. I might render the extra info when the cover is drawn, avoiding filling in the extra info while the list is moving rapidly.
