Columns number is the number in the creation sequence. You can place this new column in any position, but it still would have last number in the columns collection and you could not change it. That's very inconvenient, especially if you're using ActiveColumn property... So, you can not assume that ColumnOrder = n and it would be the same as Columns(n) :( I've just had an application, where I had to remove one column. I found its number empirically :)
