How does one reorder columns in a data frame?

Question

How would one change this input (with the sequence: time, in, out, files):

Time   In    Out  Files
1      2     3    4
2      3     4    5

To this output (with the sequence: time, out, in, files)?

Time   Out   In  Files
1      3     2    4
2      4     3    5

---

Here's the dummy R data:

table <- data.frame(Time=c(1,2), In=c(2,3), Out=c(3,4), Files=c(4,5))
table
##  Time In Out Files
##1    1  2   3     4
##2    2  3   4     5

Answer 1

Your dataframe has four columns like so df[,c(1,2,3,4)]. Note the first comma means keep all the rows, and the 1,2,3,4 refers to the columns.

To change the order as in the above question do df2[,c(1,3,2,4)]

If you want to output this file as a csv, do write.csv(df2, file="somedf.csv")
