Hi,
I was wondering if there are any transpose functions for table cells;
something akin to transpose-lines, or transpose-words. I am also
looking for something like org-open-line, but only for a table cell.
This is my use case:
| col 1 | col 2 | | col 1 | col 2 |
|-------+-------+ +-------+-------|
| 1 | a | | 1 | a |
| 2 | b | --> | 2 | b |
| 3 | d | | 3 | |
| 4 | e | | 4 | d |
| 5 | | | 5 | e |
If neither exists, any thoughts how might one go about writing one?
Thanks for any ideas.

Some time ago I wrote helper functions that do similar things for a
row:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#column-sequence-in-row
Now I added a suggestion for the same in a column:

Are you looking for something different than the above?

Hi Michael,
Sorry, I forgot to respond to your response.

These look like the transpose functions I was looking for.

Yes, the above allows easy rearrangement of table cells. I'm looking
for something that allows me to insert cells in a row or column. In my
example from the earlier email, I insert a cell in a column.
Thanks,
:)

As soon as I remembered that there are org-table-cut-region and
org-table-paste-rectangle I could not resist the mental exercise for
fun to implement f-org-table-open-field-in-row-grow and
f-org-table-open-field-in-column-grow. The latter gets you from
| a | b | c |
|---+----+---|
| d | 9 | e |
| f | 10 | g |
|---+----+---|
| h | 11 | i |
to
| a | b | c |
|---+----+---|
| d | | e |
| f | 9 | g |
|---+----+---|
| h | 10 | i |
| | 11 | |
Please read again the rearranged

Arguably the expected outcome might be
| a | b | c |
|---+----+---|
| d | | e |
| f | 9 | g |
| | 10 | |
|---+----+---|
| h | 11 | i |

Achim.
