Penchal,

yes, you can do this, but it isn't necessary beyond
making you feel more comfortable when you look at your
column names in something like pgadmin3.

i don't have my code in front of me, but what you do
is export your table definitions into sql text.  there
is a statement you can put at the beginning of the
table that deletes it if it already exists.  

update the text file with the columns in order and
then import the sql table definitions.

your original table is deleted (if it exists) and the
new table is generated in the order you want it.

when i get some time on the computer where i've done
this, i will post an example.
