You are absolutely right. I'd like to "re-order" columns, just to keep
my DB-design clean, nothing more nothing less. I won't ever use "SELECT
*" or INSERT without column-names in my applications and i don't
tolerate if others use that in their applications.

Offering the user the possibility to re-define the column-order is just
s service, but can can also be used to seperate "logical" from
"physical" column-order. Perhaps the physical column-order can be
optized to gain some performance.
