Table Column Order

This TablePress Extension has been retired. It is no longer available.

As an alternative, you can use the Column Order module that is available in TablePress Premium plans.


For some tables, it can be useful to show the columns in random, reversed, or manually chosen order each time. This is possible with the Table Column Order Extension.

To use this, download, install, and activate the Extension like a regular WordPress plugin. Then, on the page where you want to show the table, insert the extended Shortcode according to the desired column order:

Reversed order

To show the columns of a table in reversed order, use the Shortcode

[table “123” not found /]

and change the 123 to the desired table ID.

Random order

To show the columns of a table in random order, use the Shortcode

[table “123” not found /]

Manual column order

To show specific columns of a table in a desired order, you can use the Shortcode

[table “123” not found /]

The parameter column_order_manual_order can be used to define the columns that shall be shown and their order, as a comma-separated list and as ranges of columns, either by their numbers or their letters. In addition, the values all for all table columns in their original order, and reverse for all table columns in reversed order are possible.
