Yes, it would be very useful to allow to have the tree in any column. 
Look at a typical mail/news reader for example.  They let you rearrange 
the columns to be in any order you like, and then when you go into a 
sort by message-thread mode they show the subject column in a tree tree 
structure.

BTW, wxTreeListCtrl allows the tree to be in any column.
