The ETableCol represents a column to be used inside an ETable. The ETableCol objects are inserted inside an ETableHeader (which is just a collection of ETableCols). The ETableHeader is the definition of the order in which columns are shown to the user.

The text argument is the the text that will be shown as a header to the user. col_idx reflects where the data for this ETableCol object will be fetch from an ETableModel. So even if the user changes the order of the columns being viewed (the ETableCols in the ETableHeader), the column will always point to the same column inside the ETableModel.

The ecell argument is an ECell object that needs to know how to render the data in the ETableModel for this specific row.

Data passed to compare can be (if not NULL) a cmp_cache, which can be accessed by e_table_sorting_utils_add_to_cmp_cache() and e_table_sorting_utils_lookup_cmp_cache().
