ALTER TABLE `table_name` MODIFY `column_you_want_to_move` DATATYPE AFTER `column`

Something like this will help

This will move last_name right after first_name in order.

###From the Aforementioned Source: If you decide to change the order of table columns anyway, you can do so as follows:
-
Create a new table with the columns in the new order.
-
Execute this statement:
mysql> INSERT INTO new_table -> SELECT columns-in-new-order FROM old_table;
-
Drop or rename old_table.
-
Rename the new table to the original name:
mysql> ALTER TABLE new_table RENAME old_table;
Solution 5 - Php
Since version 4.0, phpMyAdmin has a "Move columns" dialog in Structure, that permits you to graphically move columns in the structure.
Solution 6 - Php
alter table table_name modify column col_name type after col_name

It's simple. Just go to PHPmyadmin, click on your database, then click table. Then click on structure. Below the table look for the button, "Move columns". Click and order the columns the way you want.

if you have MySQL Workbench you can easily reorder columns using mouse, graphically.
Just connect to your database, select your table and after right click, alter table and then drag columns to reorder them.
