Is there an alternative to "mutate %>% select" sequence to insert a column& immediately reorder the inserted column

[Albert Lee]

Hi,

I have been using `dplyr` for a long time, and I often find myself doing the following:

1. insert a column using `dplyr::mutate` function,  (i.e. mutate(df, id=gsub(....))

2. and immediately reorder it using `dplyr::select` function. (i.e .. %>% select(id, everything())

Is there an alternative way to do this? ideally, I would want `mutate` to have a flag that can help me insert a newly added column, but I don't think there is..because if it's flexibility of adding multiple columns at once. 

Any thoughts?

By the way, where's the best way to make a feature request for `dplyr`?
