Template:Columns-list turns a list into a list with columns. It is a wrapper for {{ div col }} , except it wraps the template by allowing for the content to be in the template rather than above and below.
Change "m" to the number of the column minus 1. 2nd column from the left would be "1". 3rd column from the left would be "2". The row number column created by Template:Static row numbers is not counted in these calculations. Fill in the "replace with" box with: $1[[$3]]$4. Then click "Replace all".

Using two columns like this does have the disadvantage that searching the web page (either with a browser or a search engine) will usually not be able to find text that straddles the column boundary. Also, if the table has cell spacing (and thus border-collapse=separate ), meaning that cells have separate borders with a gap in between, that gap ...
For complex tables, when a header spans two columns or rows, use ! scope="colgroup" colspan="2" | or ! scope="rowgroup" rowspan="2" | respectively to clearly identify the header as a column header of two columns or a row header of two rows.
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.
The table will have two columns, with column 1 twice (2×) the width of column 2. A border of 2px (1px width on each side) corresponds to a 5%. Therefore, with a 2px border, the width needs to be 95% for the table to fit within the screen.
Lists and tables are two different ways to format multiple, similar items on a page. Lists and HTML tables go back to Wikipedia's early days. The current wikicode tables (see the section about tables), which you can edit more easily and even sort, came later. You'll find many more lists than tables on Wikipedia.
