>From the MySQL Manual: ALTER TABLE tbl_name MODIFY [COLUMN] create_definition [FIRST | AFTER column_name]
I have also tried CHANGE instead of MODIFY. My Statement: alter table manager change column w1 decimal(8,2) not null after moves; The problem is the AFTER statement, if I omit it I have no problem. Now I'm probably reading this wrong but in any event I need my columns to be in a certain order and their not. Without deleting them and re-adding them (and the data) - how do I get them in the order I need? i.e w1, w2, w3, w4 ...... w25 not w13, w21, w2, w9 .... w4, w1. (I have no idea how they even got messed up as I created them in order. Up arrow, change number, up arrow, change number....etc, etc. I'm ranting, but this is really ticking me.
