[Rails] how to get list of Active record fields in database order ?

If rec is an active record object and you call rec.attribute_names, it
gives you the field names in alphabetical order.
If there is a way to get the order that the fields where created into
the dabatase on the create_table sql call, I would find that very
useful. It seems like there is supposed to be a columns(), and
column_names() methods, but I am not seeing them and wondering if they
maybe disappeared in rails 3 ?
