EXCEL - how to change the sequence of specific columns

Is it possible to have EXCEL to change the sequence order of attributes automatically.  Use Case - user has 100 columns in spreadsheet and a certain section of these needs to be reordered.    Let's say a spreadsheet has the column headers listed below.

           ID    Name   Date  Description  Size Length Height

How can EXCEL automatically re-arrange the Size, Length and Height so it looks like this:

           ID    Name   Date  Description  Height Size Length

This work cannot be done manually because in reality there are about 25 column headers that need to be re-arranged daily.   I was hoping someone can point me to a solution that allow the users to define the columns that need to re-arranged and define the order they need to be displayed in without impacting the other columns in the file.  I attached another example;
