Reorder columns in a tibble so that morphometric data columns appear first in a logical order: path columns, then coo columns, then coe columns, followed by all other columns.
Details
This is a convenience function to organize morphometric data in a consistent, readable order. The ordering priority is:
path columns (image file paths) - typically named "path" or containing "path"
coo columns (coordinates) - list-columns with class "coo"
coe columns (coefficients) - list-columns with class "coe"
everything else - metadata, grouping variables, etc.
If multiple columns of the same type exist, their relative order is preserved.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# After adding coefficients, coe column is at the end
bot %>% eft()
# Relocate to put coe after coo
bot %>% eft() %>% front()
# Works with any combination
tibble(
id = 1:3,
species = c("A", "B", "C"),
coe = list(1:24, 1:24, 1:24),
coo = list(matrix(1:10, ncol=2), matrix(1:10, ncol=2), matrix(1:10, ncol=2)),
path = c("img1.jpg", "img2.jpg", "img3.jpg")
) %>% front()
# Result: path, coo, coe, id, species
} # }
