The easiest way to do this is by using a view:

=====
proc sql;
   create view neworder as
      select column2,
             column1
      from   oldorder;
quit;
=====

An alternative is to use a data step view.

But why do you think you need to do this?

I have 250 Million record in dataset A

I want to exchange the order of columns, this means that column 1
appears as the second column. I do not have enough space to use
datastep.

Is there any way to do this while working on the same dataset,
something like changing some features in dataset header for example so
they change their columns order?
