You can't do that in SQL Server.Order of column in a table is irrelevant. You can specify the column order that you need in the SELECT statement.

the column position in a table is fixed and is available from ORDINAL_POSITION column of INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS view.Once created you cant change it.And as Tan points out its irrelevant as you can always return the columns in the order you want by specifying it in select list------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/ |

You can create a view that has columns with the preferred order. If you need it in a table, use SSMS design option to do thisMadhivananFailing to plan is Planning to fail |
