There is an event evt_grid_label_left_click which is fired when a row or 
column header is clicked on. You can call get_col on the event object to 
find out which column was clicked. There are also similar events for 
right clicks and double clicks.

To re-order a column, I think it should be enough to change what 
GridTableBase is returning in your case, and then calling refresh on the 
Grid.

To select a whole column just use Grid#select_col method.
