Query 2 gets you column names too but preserves the column order of the referenced table: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1054984/how-can-i-get-column-names-from-a-table-in-sql-server
SELECT o.Name as Table_Name
, c.Name as Field_Name
, t.Name as Data_Type
, t.length as Length_Size
, t.prec as Precision_
FROM syscolumns c
INNER JOIN sysobjects o ON o.id = c.id
LEFT JOIN systypes t on t.xtype = c.xtype
WHERE o.type = 'U'
and o.Name = 'ctpt_upsebill_load'
--ORDER BY o.Name, c.Name
Use the above 2 queries as CTLs and join Query 1 to Query 2 to get full DDL in the correct order.
