Is SQL SELECT faster if called in right order?

Question

Assume we have a table:

|   col1   |   col2   |   ....  |  coln   |
-------------------------------------------
|    -     |    -     |    -    |    -    | 
|    -     |    -     |    -    |    -    | 
|    -     |    -     |    -    |    -    | 
-------------------------------------------

a query where the columns are ordered:

$query1 = "SELECT col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, ..., coln FROM table";

and a query where the columns are unordered:

$query2 = "SELECT col180, col1, col78, col13, col930, col2 FROM table";

Is one of the queries faster than the other? Why would it be faster? Or, why isn't one faster?

Answer 1

It should make a very small impact on performance. Here is a previous answer by spencer7593 that explains in detail:

The order of columns in a table will have a very small impact on performance, as compared to the performance impact of your database design (entities, attributes and relationships), your transaction design and your query design.
