There are lots of ways to do it, but none using just one single tool.
Basically you will need to write some sort of script.  For example,
split the columns into separate files using cut or awk, sort the
columns you need with sort, and then rejoin the columns with paste.
If it's just a one-off you could also use Gnumeric, or OpenOffice,
or...
