I'd follow paradigms that I see in the software world for making these accessible. This usually consists of a dialog box with a list of columns with move up and move down buttons. There are of course other ways to accomplish this such as via keystrokes.

Subject: [WebAIM] Reorder table columns

Hello.

I was asked what would be a sensible way to provide reordering of columns in an accessible way. Couldn't find anything helpful elsewhere.

Is this even possible?


Thanks,
Michael
