Source Ordered Columns

Source Ordered Columns by P.I.E. is very good.
So you want a three column layout, and the footer must stay below the cols no matter which one is longest. Not too tuff, just have a static col, and two cols floated left and right, then 'clear' the footer. The longest col will always keep the footer pinned to its bottom edge.

However, since the floated cols must precede the static col, the middle static col is always last in the source code. This is undesirable because if the css is not used (text browsers, etc.), then the cols don't appear in the correct order. A more accessible way would be to place the cols in the preferred source order, and then force them into the desired screen order. But how?
Very good stuff. Go check it out, and check out the variants as well.
