Move a column to first position in a data frame

Question

I would like to have the last column of the data frame moved to the start (as first column). How can I do it in R?

My data.frame has about a thousand columns to chan

Answer 1

Move any column from any position for the first position in your data

n <- which(colnames(df)=="column_need_move")
column_need_move <- df$column_need_to_move
df <- cbind(column_need_move, df[,-n])
