the following site has a java applet that solves it from any starting position.
but first just try to get the top row done, then the 2'nd row. then the third row, and the 4'th row without affecting the 3'rd row or just affecting it in a reversible manner is easy to figure out.

From the position you were starting from (the left column finished, and the second column fairly close), I would suggest finishing the second column (without touching the first one), which would only take a few moves... and then, leaving those two columns alone, finish the top row and the second row. At that point, you will only have the 11, 12, and 15 pieces left, and by shifting them around in their 2x2 square in the bottom right, you will finish the puzzle.
