This feature is on the to-do list. But there isn't any ETA for when we should expect it. I am
pretty sure it isn't included in version 8.3.
So I guess that this feature could be expected over the next couple of years in versions 8.4 or
8.5(9.0?).

See bullet: "Alter" and sub-bullet: "Allow column display reordering ..."
