Change Ordinal Position Of The Column

1 have a table with 74 colun.But due to some deletion i have the ordinal postions as
1
2
3
.
.
69
70
72
73
74
76

what i wants is to change the ordinal from 72 to 71,73 to 72,74 to 73,76 to 74

SELECT @field = 0, @maxfield = max(ORDINAL_POSITION) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = @TableName
-- handle insert case here
SELECT @field = min(ORDINAL_POSITION) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = @TableName and ORDINAL_POSITION > @field
SELECT @bit = (@field - 1 )% 8 + 1
SELECT @bit = power(2,@bit - 1)
SELECT @char = ((@field - 1) / 8) + 1
--IF substring(COLUMNS_UPDATED(),@char, 1) & @bit > 0 or @Type in ('I','D')
IF substring(COLUMNS_UPDATED(),@char, 1) & @bit > 0 or @Type in ('D') -- For the insertion case don't save the iserted data.


I needed it as i have a trigger whihc is adding value in a log table on update but due to this problem it fails for certain column

Trgger is solme thing like

WHILE @field < @maxfield
BEGIN
SELECT @field = min(ORDINAL_POSITION) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = @TableName and ORDINAL_POSITION > @field
SELECT @bit = (@field - 1 )% 8 + 1
SELECT @bit = power(2,@bit - 1)
SELECT @char = ((@field - 1) / 8) + 1
--IF substring(COLUMNS_UPDATED(),@char, 1) & @bit > 0 or @Type in ('I','D')
IF substring(COLUMNS_UPDATED(),@char, 1) & @bit > 0 or @Type in ('D') -- For the insertion case don't save the iserted data.
BEGIN
IF @Type not in ('I')
BEGIN
SELECT @fieldname = COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = @TableName and ORDINAL_POSITION = @field -1
--print('fieldname = '+@fieldname)
SELECT @sql = 'insert Audit (ActionTypeID, RowID, TableName, PK, FieldName, OldValue, NewValue, UpdateDate,UserID, UserName, UserType)'
SELECT @sql = @sql + ' select convert(bigint,' + @ActionTypeID + ')'
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',' + @RowID
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',''' + @TableName + ''''
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',' + @PKSelect
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',''' + @fieldname + ''''
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',convert(varchar(1000),d.' + @fieldname + ')'
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',convert(varchar(1000),i.' + @fieldname + ')'
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',''' + @UpdateDate + ''''
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',' + @UserID
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',''' + @UserName + ''''
SELECT @sql = @sql + ',''' + @UserType + ''''
SELECT @sql = @sql + ' from #ins i full outer join #del d'
SELECT @sql = @sql + @PKCols
SELECT @sql = @sql + ' where i.' + @fieldname + ' <> d.' + @fieldname
SELECT @sql = @sql + ' or (i.' + @fieldname + ' is null and d.' + @fieldname + ' is not null)'
SELECT @sql = @sql + ' or (i.' + @fieldname + ' is not null and d.' + @fieldname + ' is null)'
--print('@sq=====sdfdfsfsdf')--sha
--print(@sql)--sha
EXEC (@sql)
END
END
