This is pretty simple in MySQL.  I don't know if it's standard SQL syntax but 
in MySQL you do this with the FIRST or AFTER <colname> keywords.  So, if you 
want to add the column 'extracolumn' so it's just after the 'col3' column you 
would write:

ALTER TABLE tablename ADD COLUMN extracolumn varchar(255) default '' AFTER 
col3;


HTH.
