Please let me using my following table as an example for this suggestion.
I modified your table with a better format and even added another row for testing purposes:
| Position | Username | Date of register | Earned merits | Sent merits |
|
|
|
|
|
| Admin | Cyrus | 16/01/2013 | 124 | 289 |
| Adminnnnnn | Cyrusssssssssss | 16/01/201333333333 | 124 | 289 |

If I want to switch the column #1 (Position) and column #2 (Username), I have to do three things (with the current forum):
- Change column's titles: Username for #1 and Position for #2
- Change columns' width: if in the initial format, those two columns have different widths.
- Change the contents inside each column.
Instead of manually adding an underscore to match each of their respective fields, simply use "hr" tag
[check the above table] and it automatically makes the adjustments according to each column.
The first and second to-do things are simple and don't cost too much time but the third one requires lot of time. We have to manually edit it, it's a kind of time wasting.
It is still easy to edit (with a simple switch between the #1 and #2 columns as an example in OP, even it cost time; but things will become more difficult and cost more time to finish if one want to switch the column #2 and column #6 in table. They have to spend decent time to check and switch contents between columns and rows, respectively.
I do know that my answer isn't a definite solution to your request but if you create a table with a proper format, you can save a lot of time when it comes to editing
[with my format, it takes 4 clicks to change two columns /row].
If the feature can be done with non-significant efforts to code, I hope it will be integrated.
Don't get your hopes up
[IMHO].
