Hello,
In postgresl order of columns does have an non negligeable impact on table size[1].
Table are in many cases dynamic, and new fields can appear in the database life.
I suspect re-ordering columns based on types would be an automatisable task would be feaseable such:
```
reorderTableWithTetrisAlgo(table)
return reordered_table
```
Moreover, most client code should not be dependent on column order. Then a TETRIS option
in VACUUM FULL would be usefull for many users.
lot of applications depends on column order - so this option is pretty dangerous.
Regards
Pavel
```
VACUUM [ FULL ] [ FREEZE ] [ VERBOSE ] [TETRIS] [ table ]
```
Does that makes sens ?
Thanks,
