just never use SELECT *, but always call columns by names. You'll avoid having to depend on the order of columns, which is never guaranteed, even if the table on disk is one order, the return columns could be in some other.
I always try to convince people of this as well, but when they ask me under which circumstances this could happen, I can't think of a proper example. Does anybody have an example that would show this?
