No, but you can (and should) define the column-order in the select-statement.

Other solutions:
- define a VIEW
- recreate the table

No, but the good news is you can just recreate the table once it's
stabilized in form with something like:

create table new_table as select field1, field4, field2, field3 from
old_table;
