Allow addition/deletion of fields to data entry columns and moving fields between columns #98

Allow transcribers to add or delete fields within data entry columns and to move them within and between columns so that the order of data entry can follow the document as closely as possible.

stsccfr said: I'm commenting here on behalf of Bev Stubbs, who raised an important accessibility issue regarding grouping of data entry fields. When she transcribes post-1837 marriage records, she does not actually transcribe the groom's information left to right, and then the bride's, etc. The reason is that displaying the full width of the record results in writing that is too small to read. Therefore she transcribes the left-hand side of the certificate, and then the right-hand side. This workflow also motivates allowing transcribers to arrange the data-entry fields to their own liking, as much as possible.
