ADD column AFTER is not available in SAP DB.
The only way is to 
- rename the old table
- create the new one with the wanted columns in the wanted ordering
- insert into new table select from old table (or do the last two steps in one)
- do not forget to grant privs, create views, create indexes, create synonyms
  for the new table with the old name
