You also can specify locations in a table using numbers. For example, the equivalent syntax using a
number to specify location is T = movevars(T,'BMI,'After',6). It is often more convenient to
refer to variables by name.
Move Table Variable Using Indexing
As an alternative, you can move table variables by indexing. You can index into a table using the same
syntax you use for indexing into a matrix.
Move BloodPressure so that it is next to BMI.
T = T(:,[1:7 10 8 9]);

In a table with many variables, it is often more convenient to use the movevars function.
Delete Variables
To delete table variables, use the removevars function. Delete the Systolic and Diastolic table
variables.
T = removevars(T,{'Systolic','Diastolic'});
