I seem unable to add a column in a table before another column. What I've tried is this. With the cursor in a table, I first say

_table = app.selection[0].parent.parent;

to get a reference to the table object. If you then say

_table.columns.add()

a column is added after the last column. So far so good. To add a column before or after a specified column, .add() needs two parameters: a location (before or after) and a reference to the object before or after which the new column is to be inserted. I've tried the following lines, none of which work:

_table.columns.add( LocationOptions.before , _table.columns[3] )
_table.columns.add( LocationOptions.before , _table.cells[3] )
_table.columns.add( LocationOptions.before , _table.cells.item("3:0") )
_table.columns.add( LocationOptions.before , 3 )

I had expected the first one to work, since _table.columns[3] denotes an object of type Column, but the debugger reports "Invalid parameter". The second one looks improbable, but as the debugger reports that parameterless _table.columns.add() has added an object of type Cell, I tought, well, hell, let's give it a shot--but it doesn't work. The two others you wouldn't expect to work, and indeed they don't, but you never know and you have to try something.

Has anyone any suggestions?
