Hi and thank you for this nice work,

I have tried everything that I could think of and find in the docs but cannot achieve Arrange (ment) of the columns

I did the CSVInit followed by ArrangeColumn
Every time I type the latter command, then the top column moves one char space to the right.

Thanks for any tips to get it to behave as intended.

I used the Neobundle method on NVIM v0.5.0-dev+1423-ge2d3ad7bc

Thank you and Best wishes
Eric

So the first line is the header? And you are actually using the | as delimiters? Have you tried :%Arrange so that it affects all lines?

Haleluljah! I should have mailed earlier.
(I am awaful at reading docs, I was jaded after trying a 2015 csv Plugin and I think that was by default global.)
The delimeters are simply ,

Just to save me misreading the docs again:
I noticed that , then when I looked at the file again after using the plugin to :%ArrangeColumn, then it space padded the file and it changed.
So I imagine that the workflow is to %UnArrangeColumn before saving?

Thanks

yes, :%UnArrange should work. Not sure if it works by default on the whole file or not. So try with or without the %. (I don't remember since I do not work as much with CSV files as I used to, so unfortunately, this plugin hasn't actually gotten as much love as it should :/ )
