I would think of each column as a "row" of a database. Add a row above the db range. Populate it with characters in a sequence which, when sorted in ascending order, will put the data columns in your desired order. Use "Data | Sort" GUI processes to sort the columns as columns in that ascending order.

Transpose converts rows to columns and columns to rows.

I'm using LibreOffice 3.4.3 on Kubuntu 11.04. Is there any way to reverse the order of columns in a Calc spreadsheet? For example, if I have columns A through Z, I want to re-order them so that the contents of Z are in A, Y in B, X in C, ..., A in Z, B in Y, C in X. In reality I need to leave the first 9 columns in order and have many more than 26 columns. Is there something that works similarly to transpose in "Paste special..." but to reverse columns instead?
