Reorder columns from averages
I have a simple Excel table, like so:
| Event Name | Player A Rank | Player B Rank | Player C Rank | Player D Rank | Player E Rank |
| Dodgeball: Jan. 1 | 1st | 4th | 2nd | 3rd | 5th |
| Drag Race: Feb. 3 | 2nd | 4th | 1st | 3rd | 5th |
| Averages: | =AVERAGE(B2, B3) | =AVERAGE(C2, C3) | =AVERAGE(D2, D3) | =AVERAGE(E2, E3) | =AVERAGE(F2, F3) |
Now that I have this table, I would like to be able to have Excel automatically reorder the columns based on the Averages shown in the bottom row.
For example, from the two events shown here, we have the averages of the five players at 1.5, 3.5, 1.5, 4, and 4.5. I would like so that players A and C are therefore shifted to be the leftmost columns in the table, and the higher averages are at the right, like so:
| Event Name | Player A Rank | Player C Rank | Player B Rank | Player D Rank | Player E Rank |
| Dodgeball: Jan. 1 | 1st | 2nd | 4th | 3rd | 5th |
| Drag Race: Feb. 3 | 2nd | 1st | 4th | 3rd | 5th |
| Averages: | 1.5 | 1.5 | 3.5 | 4 | 4.5 |
I've dabbled around somewhat with experimentation but I haven't been able to find a way to do this.
