> Why would you be trying to prevent the DB from reordering the data?

Sure. “Reduce the need” would be a better word than “prevent”.

If I can do a good job organizing the table columns (as described above) it’ll lower the need for the DB to reorder data.

Reduced need to reorder, improves performance.
