Reuse center disply pane in main Zotero window for "Advanced Serach"

Suggestion 1

In the "Advanced Search", only two columns of data are displayed. One is Title the other is Creator.

The Center pane in the Main Zotero window has lots of column options, and allows you to select which columns to display. You can also position the columns according to your desire. This flexibility in the Advanced Search would be Super Fantastic.

So, reuse the code which creates the center display pane in the main Zotero window for "Advanced Serach" display pane.

Suggestion 2

A saved search should also store the particular column arrangements used for that search.

You should also be able to set a preference for any new "Advanced Search."

It's easy to fix this in the code. The column picker is just disabled at the moment. I had asked, last year, the rationale for not having more columns in this windows. No answer at that time but I think that's because you can always save your search...

The saved search also ought to allow me to specify a sort order. Say I have list of Analytical Chemistry Journal Articles. I sort by:

Vol # (year) / Issue # / Page #

That way I get list in the print sequence.
