Reorder Codes

Use the Reorder Codes dialog box to change the order of codes within a selected level of the code file. Changing the order of codes in a code file does not change the code IDs.

You can reorder codes for each level in the code file structure. For example, if you select a code at the second level of the structure, you can only reorder the child codes at that level.

To reorder codes:

  1. Display the Code view for the code file that you want to update.
  2. In the Code view, take one of the following actions:
    • In the Tasks group on the Edit tab, click Reorder.
    • Right-click anywhere in the Codes grid and select Reorder on the shortcut menu.
  3. On the Reorder Codes dialog box, use Move Up and Move Down to change the order of the codes.
  4. Click OK to save the new code order.
    Note: Changing the order of codes in a code file does not renumber the codes, as the numbers that are displayed are code IDs. You can, however, rename the codes. The order in which the codes are placed on this dialog box is reflected in the reports.
