This is not true. Columns have an order. You can do INSERTs without
specifying the columns. The values won't be inserted randomly but in
their order.

Changing the order of the columns is not a frontend question but
logically. (Some) people would like to see relevant columns near to each
other, even with an admin program. I would welcome some alter table
column order feature.

Btw human beings like changing things.
