  With these properties it is possible to change the order of columns in the

Active Query Builder 3 WinForms Edition v.3.3.0.1036

+ Now when the user selects the query editing command, the
  UserQueriesView.EditUserQuery event is triggered, in which the developer
  can save the current query before opening the new one, or he can open the
  user query in a new window, the way it's done in the updated Full-featured
  demo project. Also, the events are now fired on deleting, renaming and
  moving user queries between the folders. You can review all API changes 
  in the release notes article.
+ The new helper class Core.UserQueries that consists of static methods has
  been added to perform various manipulations with user queries, such as
  adding, saving, moving, renaming them. It also has the means to save and
  load user queries serialized in XML format.
= The updated Professional Full-Featured demo project illustrates the new
  functionality.
+ The data browsing UI is improved in the Full-featured demo project. 
  It now uses the Query Transformer API to modify SQL queries.
+ The new MetadataLoadingOptions.AllowRecursiveVirtualObjects property
  allows specifying the mode of working with virtual objects. By default,
  referring to other virtual objects in the text of a virtual object is
  allowed. Such reference lets build a chain of objects to break complex
  queries in a series of simple ones. However, in this mode, you can't use
  the same-named physical object in a virtual object because of the emerging
  recursion. Setting this property to false prohibits creation chains of
  virtual objects, but allows to create virtual objects that substitute
  physical database objects.
+ The new SQLite metadata provider has been added.
= The Query Structure demo project has been refactored.
- Removal of unused objects from the query when the 
  QueryBuilder.BehaviorOptions.DeleteUnusedObjects property is turned to
  True has been fixed.

  controls.

  switch to parent sub-queries.
+ The new ActiveUnionSubQueryChanging event has been added to the QueryView
  and QueryBuilder components. It lets deny switching to another sub-query
  that might be helpful if you let end-users edit the text of sub-queries
  apart from the main query, in the case of the sub-query text parsing
  error.
+ The new SubQueryTextEditingDemo project has been added to Professional 
  and Trial installation packages.
+ IBM DB2: The ListAgg function is supported now.
+ Query Statistics: The UsedDatabaseObjects and UsedDatabaseObjectFields
  collections now include invalid objects and fields being used in the
  query. They differ from valid objects by the absence of MetadataObject
  (for objects) and MetadataField (for fields) references.

+ Now it's possible to select multiple rows and drag them to reorder columns 
  in the SELECT list.
