[jQuery] Is it possible to sort columns by a row using jQuery

[nate]

for example when row two is clicked I would like the table to reorder
a, b, c, d

      <table>
          <tr>
            <td>col 1</td>
            <td>col 2</td>
            <td>col 3</td>
            <td>col 4</td>
          </tr>

          <tr>
            <td>b</td>
            <td>a</td>
            <td>d</td>
            <td>c</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>z</td>
            <td>x</td>
            <td>y</td>
            <td>w</td>
          </tr>
      </table>
