Select/reorder columns from table #245

I have a vector of Dicts, which respects the Tables interface, and it would be useful to be able to select exactly which columns to print as well as reorder them, without needing to build a whole new object. Not sure how easy it would be to implement here!

Hi @jebej !

Can you please provide some examples? I think I did not understand what you are trying to achieve.

I mean providing an option to filter and order e.g. cols in pretty_table(data; cols=["col1", "col2"]), where data is some Tables-interface respecting object with appropriately named columns. I quickly looked into it, and making a new object would be pretty easy with TableOperations: https://github.com/JuliaData/TableOperations.jl?tab=readme-ov-file#tableoperationsselect, so this is only worth it if it's also easy to do here.
