If I understand you correctly, I would use an Update query to copy the value from one filed to another in the same record.

I mean, for example in the table there are five fields like
1. name,
2. address,
3. phone no,
4. city,
5. country

here I want move the country field with values to the third place in between address & phone no. In the table datasheet view it should show the country field in the 3rd place, but in the table design view should be same as in the above list, that is country field should be in the fifth field.

I have never worried about the order of fields in the table design. Since I always use a query to look at the data in a table, you can order the fields in any order in the query.

If you really must reorder the fields in the design view, first select the row then try dragging a field to a new position.

In the visual table designer...

Select the field by clicking once on the square to the left of the field name
Then click and hold that square, and drag the field to where you want it, then let go.

You've got the answer - The order doesn't actually matter, but if you must have the fields in a different order, just click and drag them to the desired places, in the visual table designer.

To get to the "visual table designer" simply Right click the table in question and select Design View.
