Sorting Table Columns Based on Fiscal Year

Hi Brian,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to seek assistance in sorting the columns of my table based on our fiscal year, which runs from April to March. The table may include only a subset of months, for example, from April to August.
I am wondering if there is a more efficient way to achieve this rather than manually sorting the columns. I attempted to use an "if" function, but I encountered difficulties in implementing it successfully.
Ideally, I would like to extract the data with logic similar to the following:
 
 

IDEA freezing (not multi monitor issue)

When applying criteria IDEA freezes at 0% with any file.  I imported a tiny 3 row, 2 field test file.  I set a criteria and it worked ok.  Then if you close and reopen the file it just sits at 0%.  IDEA is being run from a local drive (not network) and i have full permissions on the location. Any ideas?

Append file name as value in column

Hi!
I'm looking for a script that would append additional column into my ile with values equal to source file name.
In my example I have text files e.g.  20230831.txt with one column of data.
I would like to import this file into IDEA and have to column of which one would store in every field value "20230831".
If there would be a way to import multiple file this way at the same time that would be excelent! :)
 
Thanks in advance for the help!
Regards,
Maciej

automatically send mail in IDEA.

Hello, Does anyone have a macro to send automatic mail in IDEA.I am carrying out several daily test extractions, I must send the result by email in Excel, of course after exporting it, but I want to do it automatically, without going into each Excel generated and manually sending it from IDEA.
Do you have something out there that you can enlighten me on?
