I have a monster itemmstr table with 403 columns in it. When I look at this table in Management studio, the columns are not displayed in alphabetical order. If I am searching for a column, it is very hard to find it as the columns are not sorted. I checked the sys.all_columns sys view and figured that these columns are being displayed in column_id sort order. How can I change the way these columns are displayed to alpphabetical sort order? Thanks for your help.

You can't change the sort order in the Object Explorer, but while the column folder in Object Explorer is highlighted, you can sort the column names in the Object Explore Detail Tab.
