Copy and Paste Columns in a Tab-Limited Text file

I have this text file with a very large number of columns (10,000+) and I want to move the first column to the position of the six column so that the text file looks like this:

Before cutting and pasting
ID Family Mother Father Trait Phenotype
aaa bbb ccc ddd eee ddd
fff ggg hhh iii jjj ggg


Family Mother Father Trait ID Phenotype
bbb ccc ddd eee aaa ddd
ggg hhh iii jjj fff ggg

It is a tab-limited text file. How do I achieve this? Thank you!
