Hello hw, there was recently conversation on the topic of data export. The
thread is here...
https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg43335.html
There is no icon or menu selection providing access to that feature
however, yes, the export and reordering of columns can be done. It is done
via the SQL command window. The command, using HSQL syntax, is...
SELECT * INTO TEXT "exportTable1" FROM "Table1"
Syntax would need to be modified to mysql equivalent to support the same
action with a mysql source.
