To re-arrange the table using pivot tables, copy and paste the table into a spreadsheet program such as freeware LibreOffice Calc. In LibreOffice Calc, first make sure the headers are in the top row, and that they are not sticky (frozen). Then select all from the view menu. Then click on the "Pivot Table" command from the Insert menu.
Upload PDF to a free online PDF-to-Excel site. For example; here. Download the Excel file. Open it in freeware LibreOffice Calc or another spreadsheet program. If you just want one table from a long Excel page, you can select that table from the Calc page. Then copy the table to a new page in Calc. Edit and move columns and rows in Calc.
Normally, copying and pasting columns or rows removes the inline CSS styling such as cell colors. There is a way to break up a table (a too-wide table for example) into more tables without losing all the background colors, and other inline styling. Copy the table to 2 sandboxes (or one sandbox, and in the article itself).
If just 2 columns are being swapped within 1 table, then cut/paste editing (of those column entries) is typically faster than column-prefixing, sorting and de-prefixing. Another alternative is to copy the entire table from the displayed page, paste the text into a spreadsheet, move the columns as you will.
For example, the background colors of cells can be changed with cell parameters, making the table into a diagram, like meta:Template talk:Square 8x8 pentomino example. An "image" in the form of a table is much more convenient to edit than an uploaded image. If all the cells in a row are empty the cells still show up.
For example, a summary might say, "The table is organized with the oldest model of the automobile first, and the latest model last." Use exclamation points ("!") for row and column headings , as shown in Figure 14-13 , Figure 14-14 , and Figure 14-15 , rather than specifying specific formatting for headings (bold, larger font size, or whatever).

Edit as needed. Remove the parts you don't want. Keep only tables for example. Then export to MediaWiki. Tables can be further edited in LibreOffice Calc. See: Commons:Convert tables and charts to wiki code or image files. And: Help:Table and the section on spreadsheets and the Visual Editor.
