Hello,
I'm using text-properties to mark special entries on org-tables.
When moving columns around in such a propertized table, the text-properties
got lost because moving around is realized with "replace-match", which does
not save the text-properties.
If replacing "replace-match" with "transpose-regions" the text-properties
of the text will be preserved.
The only thing I'm not sure about is if leaving markers, parameter
"leave-markers" of transpose-regions should be set.

Moving rows with org-table-move-row preserves the text-properties and is
therefore ok.
With kind regards,
Stefan
