The table is a way to view your data and you can not "insert columns". It's more correct to say that you fill a column with data from a wave, as all of the columns in the table already exist.

To append existing data to the table use
appendtotable wave1


while placing data into a new table you would use
edit wave1


if you want to create a new wave by manually entering numbers, you can do so by simply starting to type after clicking on a cell in the table. Igor will automatically generate a wave for you which you can later rename.

I think you have to append the wave first, then drag the wave to the desired place. From the help: "To do this, position the cursor over the name of the column that you want to move. While pressing Option (Macintosh) or Alt (Windows) the cursor changes to a hand. If you now click the mouse you can drag an outline of the column to its new position. When you release the mouse the column will be redrawn in its new position. Igor always keeps all of the columns for a particular wave together so if you drag a column, you will move all of the columns for that wave."
