writeDataTable(wb = wb, sheet = 1, x = iris)

addWorksheet(wb = wb, sheetName = "mtcars (Sheet 2)", gridLines = FALSE)
writeData(wb = wb, sheet = 2, x = mtcars)

addWorksheet(wb = wb, sheetName = "Sheet 3", gridLines = FALSE)
writeData(wb = wb, sheet = 3, x = Formaldehyde)

worksheetOrder(wb)
#> [1] 1 2 3
names(wb)
#> [1] "Sheet 1"          "mtcars (Sheet 2)" "Sheet 3"         
worksheetOrder(wb) <- c(1, 3, 2) # switch position of sheets 2 & 3
writeData(wb, 2, 'This is still the "mtcars" worksheet', startCol = 15)
worksheetOrder(wb)
#> [1] 1 3 2
names(wb) ## ordering within workbook is not changed
