changing X-Y axes

I can't solve a seemingly very simple problem.
After opening a txt file I realized, that the X and Y axes are in reverse order. But cant find any button or menu to change the X-Y axes.
Opening the file again the window where I could define the axes at the first time not appears any more, even if I rename the file, just the opening process starts immediately.
What is the solution?
Thanks !!

Indeed, if it's an ASCII (text) file or a PLY file, you can simply swap the axes at loading time. If you don't see the loading dialog anymore, it's probably because you have hit the "Apply all" button (which is the default one ;). Simply close and restart CloudCompare, the dialog should appear again.

Otherwise, for the more general case, you have the ability to convert coordinates along one or several dimensions to scalar fields and vice-versa (see 'Edit > Scalar fields > Export coordinate(s) to SF(s)' and 'Edit > Scalar fields > Set SF as coordinate(s)'.
