Oh, and there is a much easier solution, probably the easiest: Transpose the table with this http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#sec-1-3-1 If the section numbering changed in the meantime: look for "Transpose tables (Juan Pechiar)"
and split it into two (or three) tables: | a | b | c | d | | 1 | 3 | 4 | | (| e | f | g | h |) Then you can use the very convenient editing functions of Org table on the second part of the table, join the parts together and transpose again.
