collation when creating new table.

[bazz]

OK as I use phpMyAdmin to create a new table, it asks me what collation I want to use for each field.
Below the table then, it asks me what collation I want to use for the table. Is this not a bit of duplication? If I set the collation for the table as 'latin1_general_cs', will that be the collation for all the fields if I don't specify them individually?

Table default, I would assume.

What happens if you leave it blank?

I don't use phpMyAdmin, so I cannot comment on the redundancy.
