shifting table cells

shifting table cells

[news]

Hi,
   is there any way to shift cells up/down within a column while leaving
   remaining columns intact. If not could someone point me in the right
   direction to any org-functions I could use to help me implement this?

You can move whole columns and rows around with \M(meta) + direction
keys, however I don't think that there are any functions for moving
individual cells.  If you wanted to try to implement this looking at the
column/row moving functions may be a good start.

try \C-h f org-table-move-column RET and then jump to the source code

kill-rectangle (C-x r k) and yank-rectangle (C-x r y) can be very
useful for this sort of thing.

That's what I've been using... although it's quite tedious.

Did you ever implement this? I've been wanting this function for a while...

I think cut and paste of regions should be good enough for this.
If there is no region defined, this function will now take the
single field at point.  Maybe that simplifies the process for a
single field a bit?
