Hi RPK

My suggestion would be to create a view which presents the columns as
you wish.

eg

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW tableView AS
SELECT a, b, c
FROM table

Then when you add add a new column, just adjust the view as required.

Cheers
Noel

Postgres does not allow such ordering as stated in the previous replies.
