Migrations queryInterface.addColumn before/after another column?

See original GitHub issue

~~Anyhow can I use queryInterface.addColumn to add a column before or after another specific column?~~ It’d be nice to have this feature.

Add a column after another column

queryInterface.addColumn('tableA', 'columnC', Sequelize.STRING, {
    after: 'columnB'
});

What do you expect to happen?

The column C should be added after columnB

What is actually happening?

The column append at the end of table

Add a column as the first column in the table

queryInterface.addColumn('tableA', 'columnA', Sequelize.STRING, {
    first: true
});

What do you expect to happen?

The columnA should be added as the first column of the table

What is actually happening?

The column append at the end of table
