Saved variables are in, which save the column sort by name or item, and holding <shift> + click to hide completed Tillers. Also added is localization for the tooltip help. But it looks terrible, and I have tried a few variants of formatting. Any suggestions on how to adjust the placement of the hints, starting line 97, is welcome.

On a side note, there are now four strings that need localizing, up from two. Still a tiny addon.
