Description:
The columns in the object info pane for tables always sorted alphabetically. In previous versions, the columns
were sorted by physical order. Maybe this is not a bug, but since the columns in the object browser are already
sorted alphabetically, a differnent sort order in the object info would be useful to find out the physical order without
opening the table editor.

Thank you for the bug report. Same problem on Windows XP.

I've created bug 66686 to report a related issue where the table sort order was changed in  5.2.42. This does affect daily work flow.
