Is it possible to use gnuplot to manipulate a table as follows:

This is the format of the original table:
textstring columnvalue1 columnvalue2 columnvalue3

I want the new table like this:
columnvalue3 columnvalue1 columnvalue2

I tried this:
set table 'output.dat'

but plot 'originaltable.dat' u 4:2:3

does not give the result I expected, does anyone here how to do it
correctly (using Gnuplot of course)

Jean
