mysql get table column names in alphabetical order

Viewed 27087

Is it possible to query a MySQL database to get the column names of a table in alphabetical order? I know that

SHOW COLUMNS `table_name`;

or

DESCRIBE `table_name`;

will give me a list of the columns in a table (along with other info), but is it possible to alter the query in order to get the columns sorted alphabetically. Adding ORDER BY 'Field' didn't work, it gave a syntax error.
