Hi, if this is not a question perhaps it needs to be moved to the correct sub-forum. I see you are new, please ask @Erel to move this.

Also it seems your image links are broken. Would like to see that a great deal.

Seems awesome

It would be better not to use
the UltimateListView library, since 2018, maybe you could use the xclv, which is an integrated library
