No.  Sorry.  Adding such functionality (already available via
other tools) would make cut's code more complex and less maintainable.
If you want to reorder the fields, use gawk, perl, sed, etc.
or a combination of cut and paste.

Since I see you're online :-) what about the patch to add cut -v (so that `cut -vf1' would output all fields but the first) that I had sent you quite a long time ago?
