Why would you want to do that? You can change the "order" of the
columns in a select-statement...?

Why?

This question comes up fairly frequently and is amusing in
its naiveté. %^)

Just use SELECT A,B,C ... instead of SELECT * ...

What presentation tool are you using that cannot simply display
the columns in whatever order you desire?

If you must attach value to the default column ordering, consider
ALTER TABLE RENAME, CREATE TABLE, SELECT INTO,...
or even just CREATE VIEW.

Apparently so.

Google: "change database column order"
