Try 'man joe':

   Rectangle mode
       Type  ^T  X  to have ^K B and ^K K select rectangular blocks instead of
       stream-of-text blocks.  This mode is useful for moving, copying, delet-
       ing  or  saving  columns  of text.  You can also filter columns of text
       with the ^K / command- if you want to sort a column, for example.   The
       insert file command, ^K R is also effected.

       When  rectangle mode is selected, over-type mode is also useful (^T T).
       When over-type mode is selected, rectangles will replace existing  text
       instead  of  getting inserted before it.  Also the delete block command
       (^K Y) will clear the selected rectangle with SPACEs and  TABs  instead
       of  deleting  it.   Over-type  mode is especially useful for the filter
       block command (^K /), since it will maintain the original width of  the
       selected column.
