How do I change the order of my table fields without deleting the field and re-inserting it, using PHP myAdmin?

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;
