The process for reorganizing columns in MySQL involves altering the table structure using the ALTER TABLE statement. Here are the steps:

1. Connect to the MySQL database using a client application or command-line client.

2. Select the database containing the table you want to modify using the USE statement.

3. Run the ALTER TABLE statement with the MODIFY COLUMN clause to change the position of a column. For example, to move the column named "column_name" to the first position in the table, use the following command:

ALTER TABLE tablename MODIFY COLUMN columnname datatype FIRST;

1. Repeat step 3 for each column you want to move.

2. Verify that the column positions have been updated by running a SELECT statement on the table.
