The order in which you list the column names in the select clause determines the order in which the columns display. The examples that follow show how to specify column order, displaying publisher names and identification numbers from all three rows in the publishers table. The first example prints pub_id first, followed by pub_name; the second reverses that order. The information is the same but the organization changes.
select pub_id, pub_name from publishers
pub_id pub_name ----- --------------- 0736 New Age Books 0877 Binnet & Hardley 1389 Algodata Infosystems (3 rows affected)
select pub_name, pub_id from publishers
pub_name pub_id --------------------- ------ New Age Books 0736 Binnet & Hardley 0877 Algodata Infosystems 1389 (3 rows affected)
