Tested LO 5.0.3.2, Windows 10.

My original post was muddled, I'm afraid, but a bug still exists in 5.0.3.2,
and I can clarify as follows:

Scenario: "Attempt to insert a field, or reorder fields."
Create table Mailing with 3 fields: Last_Name, First_Name and City. Exit
editing mode and open Mailing for data entry. Add 1+ records to Mailing with
appropriate data for each field. Edit Mailing. Add field Address at the end.
Cut field City, move to end, and paste after Address. Exit table editing mode.
Immediately open table Mailing for data entry.

Desired result:
Mailing has 4 column headers, in this order: Last_Name, First_Name, Address,
City. Fields Last_Name, First_Name and City have appropriate data, as before.
New field Address is empty.

Actual result:
As desired, except that field City is empty, and new field Address has city
data.

Why this is really a bug: Otherwise, how is a LO Base user supposed to re-order
the columns, post facto?! Of course it's better to plan your table design, but
sometimes new requirements come in, or you must tidy up someone else's poor
design. Maintenance is easier when tables are orderly, and so is entering or
editing data in table mode. It'd be nicer to be able to drag fields, in table
edit mode, to re-order them.
