Rearrange table columns and rows

[arturoacevedob]

Any way to rearrange the order of rows and columns of tables?

If not, it would be highly appreciated. Given how time consuming it would be to do so manually.

Hello @arturoacevedob,

I don't think there is a way like drag and drop of columns (yet). But it is relatively easy to mark a whole column (or row), cut it (CTRL+x) and paste it (CTRL+v) at a new position into a newly inserted column.

With dominik's solution I have the problem, that I have to resize all columns again.
A "Move Column" would be much appreciated!
Still can't find a 'move'.

(found this 2018 topic through Google, trying to find a solution)

I would also like to see this being added. Tables work pretty well as is, but dragging rows, columns or cells to rearrange a table are definitely a workflow improvement.

Here, waiting for this update too...

Thanks

I'm just chiming it to add to the critical mass: I would use this feature every second minute, as most of my documents deal with a lot of tabular information.

Please make it happen!

I would love this too. Also.... I use OneNote for a lot of my planning, organising and note taking and its "Alt-Shift-Up/Down Arrow" is so useful - moves table rows up & down, paragraphs, list items.... even a little bit of that smoothness of being able to focus on the content and not the interface would be very welcome in publisher.
