Beyond what Mark and Ihor have written, you can insert the column in the
table as you did, and then use M-<RIGHT> or M-<LEFT> to move it. That
works for me with:
(insert (emacs-version))
GNU Emacs 29.2 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.41, cairo version 1.18.0)
of 2024-02-26, modified by Debian
(insert (org-version))
9.6.23
and either terminal emacs (in an xterm) or gui emacs.
Leo
‘M-<LEFT>’ (‘org-table-move-column-left’)
Move the current column left.
‘M-<RIGHT>’ (‘org-table-move-column-right’)
Move the current column right.
‘M-S-<LEFT>’ (‘org-table-delete-column’)
Kill the current column.
‘M-S-<RIGHT>’ (‘org-table-insert-column’)
Insert a new column at point position. Move the recent column and
all cells to the right of this column to the right.
