Change a table column (field) order

Change a table column (field) order

Since the order of the fields a.k.a. columns in a table sets the order that they show by default in ALL reports that are created from them.  It is very time consuming, error prone, and frustrating to have to change every report every time to show the order you want the fields in. It also makes it difficult to find the fields you use most often.

I know you can show/hide columns in a table, but making that change doesn't change the related reports or data query tables. How does one change the order of the columns in the table?
