Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ change the order of columns of a table

[NELLLY]

Hi I Typsetted a table in latex. After doing so I need to unterchange the order of certain columns to avoid rewritting it.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{xstring}
\usepackage{array,booktabs, multirow}
 \setlength{\tabcolsep}{0.3cm}
\begin{table}[bth]
\caption{.....} \centering
\begin{tabular}{cccccccccc}\toprule[1.2pt]
~~&Run&$S^*_B$&$h^*_B$&$n^*_{B}$&$ETCU^*$&$\bigtriangleup C_{B|static}$&$N_c$&$p^*_{S}$&$S^*_{S}$\\\midrule
~~&1&	128&	0.55&	1	&1.17&	24.03&	11	&0.017&	108\\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

I need to swap the colums such that the column labels and their contents of the new table are in the following specific order:

Code: Select all

H    Run    $h^*_B$    $n^*_{B}$   $ETCU^*$  $S^*_B$  $S^*_{S}$  $p^*_{S}$ $N_c$  $\bigtriangleup C_{B|static}$

I tried a solution using \swapcol through using the array package but it doesn't work for me since I have several columns to interchange.
Is there a solution?
Thanks.

Post number 100, congratulations


I think this is nothing to tackle on the LaTeX side, though it might be possible. Do you have a good text editor, like vim (emacs seems to be good as well). Maybe notepad++ can do the job as well ... a rectangular area you can cut and past, not only parts of lines. A powerful editor might be a bit harder to learn (just like LaTeX), but can save you a huge amount of time in the end.


Another possible way would be to export the table to a simple text document, open it with excel, swap columns, write and insert in your tex-file.
I would prefer the first method, much simpler

Hi Johannes_B. I searched while a time on the net to search a solution to made for the latex table. I will use an excel sheet to permute the columns and then copy them into the latex document. This will be much easier and time saving also.
Many thanks.
