How to modify the Table column order in an existing Table

[abhradeep_kundu]

I want to re-order the column of an existing docx table using docx4j. Is there a simple way?

It is fairly straightforward if you don't have any merged cells (especially horizontal merge).

If you do have those, maybe it worth looking at using docx4j's AbstractTableWriterModel

Hi Jason,

Not able to get the idea how to re-order columns in existing docx. Can you please give me a code snippet or any reference?

What I want is ->
Suppose I have a table with A, B, C columns in respective order
A | B | C
-------------

Now what I want is to make it A | C | B or A | B like this in runtime

Regards,

Your starting point should be to have a look at the XML representing a table (by unzipping a docx, or uploading it to the webapp), and then understanding the corresponding org.docx4j.wml package objects.
