single-file
Column, not abreast
Single-file describes movement or arrangement in a line one behind another, with no one side by side: The hikers walked single-file along the narrow trail.
As a noun, it's the formation itself: They moved in single file.
The term evokes constrained passage—paths too narrow for two abreast, or orderly processions requiring sequential movement.
