dplyr imports the tidyselect helper function everything, which, as its name implies, selects everything. This can be used in combination with other column selection, so that in this case, you select hp, then everything—since a column can only occur once, this takes on the meaning hp and then everything else.





library(dplyr)

mtcars %>%
select(hp, everything()) %>%
head()
#> hp mpg cyl disp drat wt qsec vs am gear carb
#> Mazda RX4 110 21.0 6 160 3.90 2.620 16.46 0 1 4 4
#> Mazda RX4 Wag 110 21.0 6 160 3.90 2.875 17.02 0 1 4 4
#> Datsun 710 93 22.8 4 108 3.85 2.320 18.61 1 1 4 1
#> Hornet 4 Drive 110 21.4 6 258 3.08 3.215 19.44 1 0 3 1
#> Hornet Sportabout 175 18.7 8 360 3.15 3.440 17.02 0 0 3 2
#> Valiant 105 18.1 6 225 2.76 3.460 20.22 1 0 3 1


A couple base R ways could involve cbinding columns based on position. In this case, hp is the 4th column, so I bind together the 4th column of mtcars with everything but the 4th column of mtcars (same output as above):



cbind(mtcars[4], mtcars[-4])


Or based on name, where I'm subsetting first for column names equal to "hp", then not equal to "hp":



cbind(mtcars[names(mtcars) == "hp"], mtcars[names(mtcars) != "hp"])


I'm sure there are other base R ways as well--definitely could rig something up with subset.

      dplyr imports the tidyselect helper function everything, which, as its name implies, selects everything. This can be used in combination with other column selection, so that in this case, you select hp, then everything—since a column can only occur once, this takes on the meaning hp and then everything else.





      library(dplyr)

      mtcars %>%
      select(hp, everything()) %>%
      head()
      #> hp mpg cyl disp drat wt qsec vs am gear carb
      #> Mazda RX4 110 21.0 6 160 3.90 2.620 16.46 0 1 4 4
      #> Mazda RX4 Wag 110 21.0 6 160 3.90 2.875 17.02 0 1 4 4
      #> Datsun 710 93 22.8 4 108 3.85 2.320 18.61 1 1 4 1
      #> Hornet 4 Drive 110 21.4 6 258 3.08 3.215 19.44 1 0 3 1
      #> Hornet Sportabout 175 18.7 8 360 3.15 3.440 17.02 0 0 3 2
      #> Valiant 105 18.1 6 225 2.76 3.460 20.22 1 0 3 1


      A couple base R ways could involve cbinding columns based on position. In this case, hp is the 4th column, so I bind together the 4th column of mtcars with everything but the 4th column of mtcars (same output as above):



      cbind(mtcars[4], mtcars[-4])


      Or based on name, where I'm subsetting first for column names equal to "hp", then not equal to "hp":



      cbind(mtcars[names(mtcars) == "hp"], mtcars[names(mtcars) != "hp"])


      I'm sure there are other base R ways as well--definitely could rig something up with subset.
