Linux awk command

Have you ever had a column-oriented text file, similar to a spreadsheet, but the columns weren't in the order you wanted? For instance, suppose you
had the following information in a file named "checkbook.orig":

COST         DATE            BALANCE
10.00         040198           1000.00
20.00         040298             980.00
30.00         040298             950.00

    The information is good, but you'd prefer to have the DATE column first, followed by the COST information in the second column, and the BALANCE column third.
