Hello,
moving org-table rows is implemented with delete-region and insert which
preserve text-properties. Moving org-table columns is implemented
with replace-string, which removes text-properties.
My proposal is to use transpose-regions in org-table-move-column which
will preserve text-properties when moving columns in org-tables.
The patch is as follows (based on)
commit 1aeb958e5660879ccd865e8147117db50251eda7
