    2. The selected field is deleted and copied to the clipboard.

  2. Place the cursor on the field in front of which you want to insert the selected field and choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

The field is inserted in the table at the new position.

Note

The order of the fields in the ABAP Dictionary can differ from the order of the fields in the database. Changing the order of the fields (with the exception of key fields) in the ABAP Dictionary therefore does not result in a change in the database. In particular, a table conversion is not required (see Adjusting Database Structures).

If the table is a check table, you cannot change the order of the key fields. In this case you must first delete the corresponding foreign keys.
