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

Example 

     >REORDER CATEGORY
               PARENT CATEGORY> Director            <

                CHILD CATEGORY> Marketing           <  Category to be reordered.
                  NEW POSITION> Manufacturing       <  New position is before
                                                       this category.
                CHILD CATEGORY>                     <  Terminate the command.

     >                                                 New command prompt.
