Hi All,
What LayoutManager should I use to achieve a transposed version of FlowLayout?
Essentially, I want a vertical list which occupies multiple columns if it can't fit all of it's components within one column.

| item 2                 |

| item 4                 |
| item 5                 |
| item 6                 |
| item 7                 |
| item 8                 |
