I have bunch of ideas how to simplify the process (simplest is to write a select statement with the correct order), but I'm wondering, if someone already created a UI for modifing structure?

I'm curious as to why you want to do this.

The only reason I can think of is to make the table more "readable" for maintenance programmers (i.e. logically group fields that "belong" together). If that's the case, and the table doesn't have PKs, relations etc. then your SELECT - SQL idea sounds pretty good.
