When using multiple columns, grow from top to bottom instead of left to right #35

I prefer sorting my solutions in lexicographical order. When using multiple columns, sorting becomes a bit of a hassle.

Consider solutions A, B, C, D and E. When using one column, you get:

column 1
A
B
C
D
E

When switching to two columns, you get:

column 1 column 2
A B
C D
E

I'd rather have it appear like this:

column 1 column 2
A D
B E
C

Of course I can still sort them to appear like that, but when you add a new solution that is to appear somewhere in the middle of the list, it would cause a mess in the sorting again.

Is it possible to add an option, to make the list grow from top to bottom instead of left to right?

@Danielku15 Is this extension still being maintained? Would love to have this option.

I would need to check if the panel I'm currently using would support this. Otherwise I'd need to create an own layout panel. But technically it should be doable.

@Danielku15 Is this extension still being maintained? Would love to have this option. Not very actively. I lately have not much time to develop anything in my spare time. Of course I'm happy to accept any PRs that add new functionality or fixes.
