If you're working with a free table, a SQL-SELECT with the fields ordered the way you want is quick.

If you're working with a table in a DBC, I don't think there's simple command to accomplish the change.

In that case, I think the following would work. If you're not using relational links to other tables, copy the table to a new DBC. DROP the table from the current DBC. COPY TO ... DATABASE Original.

If you are using relational links to other tables, you could do that and then recreate with ALTER TABLE commands.

Depending where you are, it might just be simpler to make the change visually if it's a one shot deal.
