Yeah, having a way of inserting a CSV file but saying "only I want the title column to come first" does make sense to me as a feature.

It can use -o for consistency with https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli-reference.html#search and https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli-reference.html#rows and https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli-reference.html#transform

Creating the table before inserting is a useful workaround, thanks. It does require figuring out the create table syntax and listing all the fields manually, though, which loses some of the magic of sqlite-utils.

I was expecting to find an option like --headers=foo,bar (or --header-row='foo\tbar', if that would be easier) - not necessarily that exact syntax, but something that would essentially be treated the same as having a header row in the file.

A couple of tricks I use here. Firstly, I often create the table before the import using the sqlite-utils create-table command: https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#creating-tables

The other current option is to use the bulk command, which lets you construct a custom SQL query to execute against every row from a CSV file: https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#executing-sql-in-bulk

Do either of those options work here or is there a useful new feature that would work better?
