I stumbled upon the fact that it's not possible to rearrange columns ordering.
Is this not too much of a constraint ? I mean what's the workaround for eg for the analysts using it daily ? Columns just pile at the end of every table without any consistency ?
Sorry for the broken english (french)
Your select statement specified the order of your result columns in your result set. Your visualization tools should have the option to reorder the displayed columns to your liking or need.
The order of the columns in your table creation statements is irrelevant to the order of how the columns return to you in your queries.

Non-postgress, old school method:
1) Dump table data to ascii delimited file.
2) Use awk/gawk to re-arrange columns in ascii delimited file.
3) drop old data table.
4) create new data table to upload the awk/gawk data generated in #2.
5) upload awk/gawk data from #2.
