Not having created any tables for a while I have just noticed the numbers alongside of the column names. They don't seem to be in any sequence. What are they?

The numbers seem to match the alphabetical order of the column-names.

Roy,

I don't see any numbers alongside the column names. Where are you seeing these numbers? In the Column Properties pane on the right side of the screen?

Maybe the numbers are the column creation order? Remember you can sort the column by either the creation order or sorted by their column name by selecting the proper icon from the toolbar.

  Ok, thanks. I remember seeing them somewhere in the past.

This is an EDB Manager bug - it will occur when you sort the columns in
alphabetical order in the treeview.  I'll have a fix for this in the next
build.

OK, I wonder when I sorted the columns though. Is it persistent and stored?
