I don't understand how this hooks up to
PluggableMultiColumnListMorph. Is this the getListSelector code?
Looking at the class comment, it says getListSelector should
return an OrderedCollection of Arrays, where each Array is a
row. You seem to be doing something in column-major order, so I
don't really see how this code is supposed to work
