Support for Physical Column Reordering in PG

Hi,is there any better way to change the order of a column except
1) creating a new table and do insert with select with rearranged columns
2) using views

use case:
there are cases where we might be using delta compression between tuples we
have a table like
"create table temp(x bigint,y char(3),z integer);"
If we have tuple values,for the column y less than 3, SQL standard does
padding to make the length = 3,which causes delta noise,so to reduce this
noise we reposition the column y at the end ,which helps us to reduce the
delta between tuples.

So is making a patch to have a sql command to reposition the column like
other databases makes sense? thoughts ?
