Views

First of all a disclaimer, part of the intention of this blog post is to see if anyone else has a better solution. This is something I came up with but I'm not entirely happy with the solution as it involves running the sql query twice. :(

For a project I've been working on recently, I needed the ability to have a two column table layout in Views. The idea was to place the field label in the first column, and the field data in the second. I had tried achieving the same layout using the unformatted default layout with some CSS, but was unable to get the label and field data to line up correctly, and so eventually wrote a views plugin to achieve the effect using tables.

The screenshot below shows what the final result looks like.
