[REQ] Allow sorting while in Structure view

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be helpful to be able to sort the rows of fields listed in the 
Structure view of a table.

- Would require a new column "#" to restore order
- Not possible to reorder fields if they are not in the right order

+ Can be useful on tables with many columns.

I'll leave that decision to the devs :)

Perhaps a filter field could be used then.  a text field where you enter a 
string and it only shows fieldnames containing that string.  That way sorting 
wouldn't be as necessary.

I'm working with very complicated database currently. It have tons of columns 
in each table, also some of them merged by views and it is very hard to find 
something in it w/o writing queries like
SELECT col1, col5, col20 from crazy_view where 1
So i'm here to post feature request, but i was not first. I'm voting for filter 
by column name (don't forget about views too) and also it wold be cool to have 
ability to implement something like above query in content UI. I think it can 
be field like filter field to input separated by commas necessary fields. 
Simply and tastefully (russian popular saying).
