Ever use something like phpMyAdmin? Ever add and/or remove some columns to a table, but then realize that the order of the columns aren’t really the way you’d like them?
This has bothered me ever since I started using phpMyAdmin. To the best of my knowledge there isn’t a way to fix this from within the software. However, it’s quite trivial to do it via regular SQL:
ALTER table `table_name`
MODIFY COLUMN `column_name` your_data_type
AFTER `other_column_name`
And by golly it works!
