Default Some rules about Vlookup

From help on VLOOKUP

VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,ran ge_lookup)

Lookup_value is the value to be found in the first column of the array.
Lookup_value can be a value, a reference, or a text string.

Show us one of your formulas that works if a column is not first in the in
the table_array.

I have read in many places the vlookup only works with first column
data -but I have tried it with other columns and it seems to work -
What are the real rules for Vlookup ?
