MultiselectColumn component

The MultiselectColumn component implements a column with checkboxes for selecting records. It also provides controls for selecting multiple records.

MultiselectColumn is a child of the Listing component and is rendered in its view. Like any component, it can hold the sort order value, which influences the order of all its child elements.
