Description

I would love to be able to sort the columns by name in the Structure View. I find myself having to hunt for specific columns in large tables to see the definition and it would be way easier if I could just sort them alphabetically.

Research direction

Start at the Structure View entry point and trace how table columns are displayed and whether existing ordering behavior can be reused. The work is done when users can sort columns alphabetically by name and the behavior works for large tables.
