Reordering columns in a large dataframe

Question

Using the following example dataframe:

a <-  c(1:5)
b <- c(\"Cat\", \"Dog\", \"Rabbit\", \"Cat\", \"Dog\")
c <- c(\"Dog\", \"Rabbit\", \"Cat\", \"Do         


        

Answer 1

To generalize the reshuffling of columns in any order using dplyr, for example, to reshuffle:

df <- data.frame(a,b,c,d,e,f)

to

df[,c("a","d","e","f","b","c")]

df %>% select(a, d:f, b:c)
