Description:
When you have a table with a few columns it is no longer possible to right click on a column and change the ordering. This is because the "Move Up" and "Move Down" context menu items are always greyed out.
This has been working in the 5.1.x branch before so I'd say it is a regression.

How to repeat:
- create a table with a few columns
- double click the table to open the table editor at the bottom of the screen
- switch to the "Columns" tab
- right click on any column

-> "Move Up" and "Move Down" context menu items are greyed out

Thank you for the problem report. Verified just as described.

Unable to repeat in latest version.

this has been fixed. fix will be in 5.1.16

An entry was added to the 5.1.16 changelog:

In the Columns tab of the Table Editor, when a column was right-clicked to display the context-sensitive menu, the Move Up and Move Down menu items were disabled. This meant that the order of the columns could not be changed in the normal manner.
