Programming :: Extracting Columns In Particular Order?

Say I have a text file with10 columns. I need to reorder them based on a list of column numbers that will reorder them.

My problem is this:

If I want to cut out 5 columns (columns 1,2,3,9,10) in the order 1,10,2,9,3 then I have tried using:

Code: cut -f1,10,2,9,3 my_file.txt > reordered_file.txt But this just extracts the columns in order as if I used:

Code: cut -f1,2,3,9,10 my_file.txt > reordered_file.txt How can I cut these columns and place them into the new file in the order I specify?

While this might seem quite trivial, I will actually need to do this for a file containing ~14000 columns with ~12000 columns that I need to extract in a particular order.
