Add in ability to db_add_field a new database field using the keyword AFTER.

Created on 12 May 2012, over 13 years ago

There seems to be no way to add a mysql column after an existing field in the schema. It would be nice if there was a feature that supported the AFTER keyword in the ALTER statement.
