How do you rearrange columns in a list in Excel?

I know how to rearrange regular columns in Excel. What I need to do is
rearrange columns in a "list", which is what Excel calls a specially
formatted group of cells that have sorting options. I use the List
Wizard to make the list, and can add or delete columns, but can't
figure out how to rearrange them. I'm wondering if it's even possible.
Thanks.

There is no "rearrange columns" command :) Insert the new column within the
list, select & cut the column to be repositioned, then paste to the top cell
in the new column of the list. IOW, the only difference with a list is that
you have to work within the list range.

Alternatively you can turn the List Manager off, reconstruct the sheet, then
reapply the List Manager.

Thanks. I was guessing it was a manual process but wasn't sure...
