Can your code be used if the input is not a square matrix ?

It reverse the order of the file, and works in a not square input:

Code:

> cat file
D  H  -  -  G  -
C  G  K  -  I  Z
B  -  L  -  K  X
A  E  I  -  -  J

Code:

> sed -ne '1!G;h;$p' file
A  E  I  -  -  J
B  -  L  -  K  X
C  G  K  -  I  Z
D  H  -  -  G  -
