Me get upset ! Nah. This is my first posting in this newsgroup. Just seemed like I was getting slammed for such an innocent request! Clearly the order of tables is not for Oracle's benefit, but mine. Once one gets several hundred tables, there needs to be some order that allows my wee mind to categorize it.

As for "Mighty"... the impression I was getting was that the need to rearrange fields in Oracle, was "beneath" the Oracle. Please forgive me if I was wrong in my impression.

thanks for the info. I solved the problem by recreating the table. What really got me questioning how to do it, was the resort buttons in "Oracle SQL Developer", which I can't seem to activate. Am I missing something? Why won't those buttons activate?
