Description:
When a table is selected in the Object Browser, corresponding Object Info tab displays table columns sorted alphabetically. Often natural order (i.e. logical grouping) of columns in a table makes more sense.

Relevant forum post: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?152,566031,566378

How to repeat:
1. Open SQL Editor.
2. In the Object Browser, expand a database and select a table
3. Object Info tab below the Object Browser shows table's columns sorted alphabetically.

Suggested fix:
Object Info tab displayed columns unsorted as of MySQL Workbench 5.2.38. 

There needs to be a toggle button, a la Eclipse Outline view, to choose between sorted and unsorted column display in the Object Info tab.

Alternately, table columns can be displayed unsorted by default.
