If I do an "sp_help <tablename>" in Sybase, the schema output it
displays is alphabetized, so yes, I would expect to see first_name,
last_name, middle_name. :-)
I actually prefer this, since if I am trying to find last_name, I can
find it much faster (I know it is after "k" and before "m").
I might could be convinced that it might be OK for CM to allow you to
order the rows manually, but I don't think you can rely on the database,
since they all differ in how they work.

Subject: Re: Modeler Attribute Order Question.
> No, cause it makes no sense to me ;-) Have you ever seen a corporate
DB?
Yes, just have one in front of me :).
In most models(DB) if there's first_name, middle_name, last_name, you'll
find this
in this order and not in the alphabetic order: first_name, last_name,
middle_name :).
Of course there are cases with very cryptic DB names(for tables and
columns) but for those
purposes there the Modeler there, right?.
However allowing the changing the order of the attributes(in the
Modeler) would be very important
IMHO. Even when creating a new 'model'(so not only after reverse
engineering the DB) one wants to
keep the order :).
Thanks in advance,
Ahmed.
