Moving columns within a data.frame() without retyping
r
Solution
Here is one way to do it:
> col_idx <- grep("g", names(df))
> df <- df[, c(col_idx, (1:ncol(df))[-col_idx])]
> names(df)
[1] "g" "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f"
Problem
Is there a method for moving a column from one position in a data.frame to the next - without typing an entirely new data.frame() For example: ``` a <- b <- c <- d <- e <- f <- g <- 1:100 df <- data.frame(a,b,c,d,e,f,g) ``` Now let's say I wanted "g" in front of "a" I could retype it, as ``` df <- data.frame(g,a,b,c,d,e,f) ``` But is there not a quicker way? (Imagine 1500+ columns)
