Description:
On the Columns tab of the table editor, the context menu provides "Move Up" and "Move Down" options. However, if a new column is added that needs to be moved to the top, it takes many clicks to get it to the top, especially on tables that have 30 or more columns.

How to repeat:
Add a table. Add 30 columns of any type via the Columns tab. Right-click on the last one's Column Name. Choose the "Move Up" option from the context menu. Repeat the process until the column is at the top.

Suggested fix:
Add a "Move To Top" option that will move a column to the very top of the list. Likewise, add a "Move To Bottom" option to move a column to the very bottom.

Hotkey combinations for the "Move.." commands would also be beneficial.

Many thanks for writing a feature request. After discussion we decided that we won't implement such functionality in foreseeable future.

That is unfortunate since it would be very helpful.

The drag-and-drop will have to do for now, then.
