What Rotate TSV Columns can do:

Rotate TSV Columns shifts each row’s columns either left or right, depending on your toggle selection. It’s useful for reordering data, transforming structure for comparisons, or exploring how values shift across rows. You can keep the header row in place while rotating the rest, and preview everything in real time. With browser-based processing and full control, it’s ideal for reshaping TSV data quickly without needing a spreadsheet or script.

Example:

Input:

name	age	city
Alice	25	New York
Bob	30	Los Angeles

With Rotate Right ON (Preserve Header ON):

name	age	city
New York	Alice	25
Los Angeles	Bob	30

With Rotate Right OFF (Rotate Left):

name	age	city
25	New York	Alice
30	Los Angeles	Bob

Common Use Cases:

Use this when reorganizing tabular data, testing positional shifts, or adapting TSV content for imports where column order matters. It’s quick, intuitive, and works fully client-side.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

After rotating with Rotate TSV Columns, you might want to use Display TSV Statistics to get a quick overview of how the structure changed. And if you’re prepping for more reshaping, TSV Rows to Columns helps flip the data back when needed.
