Move column_name AFTER Column_name using MySQL

Question

I need to move a column_name AFTER column_name;

I have done the following:

ALTER TABLE tables_name MODIFY COLUMN columns_name AFTER columns_name;

Any suggestions,

Answer 1

This should do it for you:

ALTER TABLE `schema`.`table`   
  CHANGE `column_name` `column_name` INT(11) NULL  AFTER `other_column`;

They key here is CHANGE instead of MODIFY like you have.

Answer 2

I also did this,

ALTER TABLE doughnuts MODIFY COLUMN column_name INT AFTER column_name;

I am getting a error under the INT, but the query stills runs and works properly.
