Transform Column

Reshapes one column in place (it is replaced, not duplicated). In order, it can:

1. Map values — recode specific values to new ones.

2. Set the target type — Nominal, Ordinal, or Numeric.

3. For Ordinal: define an explicit category order, and optionally flip the scale (reference − x; reference defaults to max + min).

4. For Numeric: apply a normalisation — Z-score, Stanine, Center, Min-max, Log, or Rank.

5. Set a colour tag and, optionally, a new name.

Use this to make a column ordinal with a proper order, to reverse-key an item, or to standardise a variable before analysis.
