ACL Resequencing
ACL resequencing allows you to re-number the rules and remarks in an access or prefix list.
The placement of rules within the list is critical because packets are matched against rules in sequential order. To order new rules using the 
current numbering scheme, use resequencing whenever there is no opportunity.
