When multiple people are working on a single Rails codebase and they add 
migrations with new columns (or tables) and run the migrations in different 
order there is a problem with schema.rb. After this every time migrations 
are run the columns swap places if the previous version of the schema.rb 
file has been commited by the other developer who did run the migrations in 
different order.

Because of this the developers have to discard the lines where columns swap 
places to keep the source control clean. Could this be fixed by putting the 
tables and columns on schema.rb in alphabetical order? Or are people 
relying on the database's order of the tables and columns?

It seems you could implement it by sticking `.sort_by(&:name)` to
