Ok. so for now I want to return to where I started. so I renamed the table and regenerated my original table with the fields in the order that I like. I cannot just do a
insert into table select * from other_table;
because the fields are in a different order.
Can I do this by listing the fields in my insert in the order in which I want them placed?
Thanks
Jodi

is it possible to move a field up in a table? now that I have done this
Currently, not without recreating the table. There was some discussion
about that a few months ago, but nothing is happening in 7.4 on that
front. Maybe in 7.5 there will be a way to change the column order,
but don't count on it.
