Aloha hubert,

Could you use the transpose function in the Library of Babel?

#+name: transpose-example
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |

#+name: transpose
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var table=transpose-example
  (apply #'mapcar* #'list table)
#+end_src

#+results: transpose
| 1 | 4 |
| 2 | 5 |
| 3 | 6 |

All the best,
Tom
