Method 2 : Using dplyr() package
By using this package we can shift particular column to the first, Here we are using %>% operator to load the shifted data into dataframe and use the select () function that takes the particular column name to be shifted and every() thing is used to get the dataframe data
Syntax: dataframe%>% dplyr::select(“column_name”, everything())
where
- dataframe is the input dataframe
- column_name is the column to be shifted to first
Example: R program to shift particular column to first
R
# load the dplyr package library("dplyr") # create a dataframe with 4 columns # they are id,name,age and address data = data.frame(id = c(1,2,3), name = c("sravan","bobby", "satwik"), age = c(23,21,17), address = c("kakumanu","ponnur","hyd")) # display print("Original Dataframe") data print("After moving age to first column : ") # move age to first column data_Sorted = data %>% dplyr::select("age", everything()) # display sorted data data_Sorted |
Output:
Move Column to First Position of DataFrame in R
In this article, we are going to see how to move particular column in the dataframe to the first position of the dataframe in R Programming language.
Create dataframe for demonstration:
R
# create a dataframe with 4 columns # they are id,name,age and address data = data.frame(id=c(1, 2, 3), name=c("sravan", "bobby", "satwik"), age=c(23, 21, 17), address=c("kakumanu", "ponnur", "hyd")) # display data |
