I have a database "portal" and table "employee" and more than 60 fields in that table not arranged in alphabetical order. I want to arrange the fields name in ascending order from phpmyadmin or by any other means.
I tried MySQL sorting table by column names
SELECT column_name
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE table_schema = '[portal]'
AND table_name = '[employee]'
ORDER BY column_name
...but it doesn't work.

You should be able to use the following:
SELECT column_name
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE table_schema = 'portal'
AND table_name = 'employee'
ORDER BY column_name
