Closes #18406.
Streamlines insertion of an Expr at an arbitrary index in a DataFrame; currently
insert_column
only supports this for Series, but it's straightforward to allow Expr too.Without this affordance the user has to make two calls - one to add the new Expr (typically via
with_columns
), and then a second call to explicitly reorder all of the columns.More ergonomic to allow this in a single call (this PR resolves the operation as a single
select
), and it makes the method consistent withwith_columns
, which also supports both Expr and Series input.Example
