Question

I have a table

ID | ClientID | Contact | Tag | Email | Designation

I want Designation to be shifted next to ClientID column.

ID | ClientID | Designation | Contact | Tag | Email

Is there a SQL query or SQL Server stored procedure that I am not aware of to do this ?
Otherwise I am planning of creating new table with required structure , copying the data ( few records ) and dropping the original table.

Thanks..

You could use a view.
A view contains rows and columns, just like a real table. The fields in a view are fields from one or more real tables in the database (w3school):

CREATE VIEW myOrderedTable
AS
SELECT ID, ClientID, Designation, Contact, Tag, Email
FROM tableName;
