Insert column in org-mode moves the content

Question

I am trying to insert a column in a table in org-mode and I get the content moved.
For example, I have this table:

| Name   | Age |
|--------+-----|
| Tarzan |  40 |
| Jane   |  39 |

Now I want to insert a column between Name and Age.
So I add a pipe (|) just after Name:

| Name  | | Age |
|--------+-----|
| Tarzan |  40 |
| Jane   |  39 |

And the press TAB.
I get this:

| Name   |    | Age |
|--------+----+-----|
| Tarzan | 40 |     |
| Jane   | 39 |     |

While what I would expect is:

| Name   |    | Age |
|--------+----+-----|
| Tarzan |    |  40 |
| Jane   |    |  39 |

It seems kind of simple to fix manually for that table, but... I haven't told you all the story.
In the real table I have Boy, Cheeta, Cheeta's family, the herd of elephants, lions, tigers, crocodiles, etc... and all the psychological relationships between them...

Is there a way to avoid that column content move?

Answer 1

Just positioning at the column:

       cursor here
          |
          V
| Name   |■Age |
|--------+-----|
| Tarzan |  40 |
| Jane   |  39 |

and using M-S-right (org-table-insert-column) makes it:

| Name   |   | Age |
|--------+---+-----|
| Tarzan |   |  40 |
| Jane   |   |  39 |

From the org-mode manual:

M-S-<right>     (org-table-insert-column)
Insert a new column to the left of the cursor position.
