Moving column group to 'after column' is only moving it to the first
I'm trying something that seems simple - moving a column group to a location after another column.
Moving "to last" works, "to first" works, but after doesn't for me, no matter how i mess with format.
Below is example code to test -
Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Cities.jmp" );
dt << group columns( "xy", {:X, :y} );
dt << group columns( "pollutants", :Ozone :: :Lead );
dt << move column group( to first, "xy" );
this worked but if
dt << move column group( after("Latitude"), "xy" );
instead of the "to first"
then I get very strange behavior - BOTH the groups move the first location in the dt.

Re: Moving column group to 'after column' is only moving it to the first
Move Column Group does not have the "after" argument like Move Selected Columns does.
However, you can select the group, and then use
dt << Select Column Group("xy");
dt << Move Selected Columns(after("?????"));
