Reorder
Reorder
Reorders an entity's position in the parent's list of relationships which was established
with the RELATE command.
Syntax
[option] REORDER subcommand REO
Use the REORDER command to change the position of a child within the parent's entry
list of relationships. A complete list of entities that can be reordered is given below under
Subcommands. The subcommand identifies the type of relationship for which an entity's
position is to be reordered. For example, REORDER CATEGORY, changes the position of a
child category within a parent category's list of relationships. To determine the current
position of the child entity in the parent's entry list and the name of the child entity before
which it is to be placed, use the SHOW command. (Refer to the SHOW COMMAND, in this
section for more information.) If [[RETURN]] is pressed in response to the NEW
POSITION prompt for this command, the child entity will be placed at the end of the
parent's entry list of relationships.
Subcommands
Any of the following subcommands can be used with the REORDER command:
CATEGORY reorders a child category within a parent category's entry list
ELEMENT reorders a child data element within a parent data element's entry list
FILE reorders a child file within a parent file's entry list
GROUP reorders a child HP Inform group within a parent group's entry list
PROCEDURE reorders a child procedure within a parent procedure's entry list
