Description

While I agree that it would be bad to implement any hack to solve #370 while is not supported by postgres, it would be great if the ui could offer a way to reorder columns while there are beeing added. I.e. when creating new tables or adding a bunch of columns to an existing table.

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #370 and the Postico UI flow for creating tables and adding columns. Determine where new-column placement can be selected before creation, then verify that the resulting PostgreSQL table preserves the requested order for both new tables and batches of added columns.
