Common questions
How do I change the column order of a CSV file?
Load the CSV, drag the columns into the order you need, remove any you don't want, and download the rearranged file. Row data moves with its column.
Why would column order matter?
Many import templates (CRMs, e-commerce platforms, SQL COPY commands) expect columns in a fixed order, and readers find reports easier when key columns come first.
