Column position is completely inmaterial. Except for putting nulls near the end of the table. If you really want it in that format use a view or use ctas and put it in that format with the ctas syntax when you create the table.

Are you saying the table you are importing to has a different column name/datatype?

If so, I would add the old column to the table, import it, then create the new column and use an update statement to move the data over. Then drop the old column.

If the table isn't huge, you can load it into a difference schema, then use ctas syntax to move it over to a new table.

Watch out for references though.
