Reorders columns in the output table.

Syntax

T | project-reorder ColumnNameOrPattern [asc | desc | granny-asc | granny-desc] [, ...]

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
T	`string`	✔️	The input tabular data.
ColumnNameOrPattern	`string`	✔️	The name of the column or column wildcard pattern by which to order the columns.
`asc`, `desc`, `granny-asc`, `granny-desc`	`string`		Indicates how to order the columns when a wildcard pattern is used. `asc` or `desc` orders columns by column name in ascending or descending manner, respectively. `granny-asc` or `granny-desc` orders by ascending or descending, respectively, while secondarily sorting by the next numeric value. For example, `a100` comes before `a20` when `granny-asc` is specified.

Note

If no explicit ordering is specified, the order is determined by the matching columns as they appear in the source table.
In ambiguous ColumnNameOrPattern matching, the column appears in the first position matching the pattern.
Specifying columns for the project-reorder is optional. Columns that aren't specified explicitly appear as the last columns of the output table.
To remove columns, use project-away.
To choose which columns to keep, use project-keep.
To rename columns, use project-rename.

Returns

A table that contains columns in the order specified by the operator arguments. project-reorder doesn't rename or remove columns from the table, therefore, all columns that existed in the source table, appear in the result table.

Examples

Reorder a table with three columns (a, b, c) so the second column (b) will appear first.

Run the query

print a='a', b='b', c='c'
|  project-reorder b

Output

b	a	c
b	a	c

Reorder columns of a table so that columns starting with a will appear before other columns.
