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
