Make 'FormattableColumn' comparable
Implement the '__lt__' magic method, thus providing the minimal set of
rich comparison methods necessary to support sorting. This will allows
users using these formatters for the more basic types (i.e. not dicts)
to sort their output using the standard '--sort-column' option.
