Note that (if I understand your description properly) this would 
take approx. 3-5 minutes to do using Excel or another decent 
spreadsheet application -- import the CSV, move columns/rows 
around, save as CSV again.  And compute your sums while you're at 
it.

Once again, the right tools for the job...   ;)
