The aim of the ticket is to allow the reordering of columns in a table.
This is not a functionality of PostgreSQL. So, you'll have to think a
bit on how to do this with pgAdmin. You'll need to find a way to get all
the metadatas and the datas of the table, to create a new one, nearly
identical (nearly because the order of the columns will be changed, and
only that).

IOW, the UI needed is just a snap to do (a couple of buttons to bring up
or down the selected column), but the underlying work to make it happen
could be quite hard.

Other than that, you're free to go :)

Regards.
