[Tex/LaTex] swap x and y axis on data generated plot

Question

I have generated a plot using a long list of plot coordinates (x,y). I would like to plot the data as (y,x) with y on the horizontal axis and x on the vertical axis. Is there any way to do that?

I want to avoid generating the data again or invert by hand the (x,y) to (y,x). Thanks!

As Jake mentions these type of manipulations are way easier with tables. Here is a quick hack to ignore (,) chars and make the column separator as comma such that we can use coords as inline table entries. (I also swapped x and y settings)

\documentclass{standalone}

x tick label style={/pgf/number format/fixed},

scaled y ticks = false,
y tick label style={/pgf/number format/fixed},
