[TYPO3-english] Grid layout and moving content between columns

Actually this was made by the whole T3UXW team - I was just part of it 
and the presenter of the video.

It stil seems to be missing which IMHO is a bug.

Drag & Drop has been postponed to 4.6.

But there is a workaround to speed up the stuff you currently have to do 
manually:

Go to the list view and click on the table header of the tt_content 
table. Then select the colPos field to be shown in the list.

Now click on the pencil icon left of the column header and you should be 
able to change the colPos selectors of each element of this page in one go.
