WXGUI attribute table manager doesn't meet with 1 normal form

[marisn]

WXGUI attribute table manager expects CAT column to be first one. (There's no left-to-right ordering to the columns.) If CAT is not the first column, zoom to feature functionality fails. Other functionality involving selected rows was not tested.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Here "-0.XXX' is value of a first column displayed in attribute manager. Database connection points to CAT column displayed as a second column.

It is still an issue with 7.2: #3291

AFAICT, the problem comes from the fact that both ​GetSelectedItems() and ​GetItems() call GetItemText which in the wxpython < Phoenix returns the first column. In Phoenix it apparently takes an argument col= which allows to chose a specific column by index.

Probably, the solution would be to rewrite GetSelectedItems and GetItems to get the entire data row and then select the relevant column...
