Well. Yes and no. On the one hand, you can always do the required
renumbering yourself. On the other hand, the `natural' order for the
ListViewer is top-to-bottom, then left-to-right, meaning that this
renumbering will be more difficult, and the results of it will be
confusing once the ListViewer is resized. So in this case you might be
better off using ListGrid instead of ListViewer. It is overridable in a
similar manner.

Yes. You can use either packing or grow modes. In this example, the
easiest would probably be to add

    growMode => gm::Client

to the ListViewer creation parameters.
