Adding a New Column Specifically In a Table

OK so I have read the docs and Google to try and find a way to add a
new column to an existing table. My problem is I need this new column
to be created 3rd  rather than just dumping this new column to the end
of my table. I can't find anywhere how I can insert my new column as
the 3rd table column rather than the last (seventh). Does anyone know
how I can accomplish this or if it's even possible. Seems like a
common task but I checked the documentation and may have missed it in
my reading.


ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN employer VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL;

The above command dumps the 'employer' column at the very end of my
table which is not what I want.

Thanks for any assistance...
