Note: The order in for (i in a) is arbitrary, so it cannot be used reliably to preserve order. An alternative would be to use a for(i=min;i<=max;i++) loop..
for example:
Code:
awk 'NR==FNR{A[$1]=++c; next} {s=""; for (i=1; i<=c; i++) {if(FNR==1) P[i]=A[$i]; s=s $(P[i]) OFS} print s}' headers input_file
