df = pd.DataFrame(raw_data, index = ['Willard Morris', 'Al Jennings', 'Omar Mullins', 'Spencer McDaniel'])

df.head()

Index(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'],dtype='***')
#new column format that we want to rearange

df.columns
Index(['D', 'C', 'B', 'A'],dtype='***')
#new column order

In [7]: cols = df.columns.tolist()
In [8]: cols
Out[8]: [0L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 'mean']

In [12]: cols = cols[-1:] + cols[:-1]

In [13]: cols
