I've worked with relational databases for 20+ years. This is the very first time I heard of this.

I've worked with DBs for 20+ years as well. This is a quality of life type of improvement. If you've worked mainly with DBs that don't make this easy it's hard to know what you're missing. Do a search for column reordering for PG and you'll get a ton of hits.
