Ability to change the primary column at a later date

It would be convenient if you could change the primary column at any time. I have an existing sheet and would like to switch the primary column to a different text/number column. I know there are workarounds to get the end result, but it would be super slick if you could just change it by editing the column properties.

    I agree - my issue is that I built my smartsheet modeling it after one with a blank primary column (so I left my smartsheet blank). Now I realize I want to use some of the primary column functionality, but my sheet is almost all formulas and references to other cells - if I copy my data from one column into the primary column, it will break a lot of my formulas.

    @kss5229 it can be very frustrating and take a lot of extra time.
