Hey,

I've got a bit of a puzzle regarding the sortorder flag when modifying a
domain to change the nameserver_list

When you issue the 'remove' action, you specify the sortorder to remove,
i.e. if you had nameservers with 4 entries, having sortorders 1 through
4 and you removed 3, you'd end up with 1,2, and 4 sortorder values.  If
you then go on to add a nameserver, it will be added as 5 ending up with
sortorders 1,2,4,5.

Does this mean that whenever a delete occurs, we should also issue a
modify to re-order the sortorders?

It doesn't explicitly say what the sortorder is actually for from what
I've read, but I presume it's the order in which they are shown in whois
output?  If that's the case, how does one go about inserting a
nameserver at, for example, sortorder 1?  Do you have to add a
nameserver, then modify the rest of the nameservers to be the right
order?

Its confusing the hell out of me, maybe because I don't have a clear
understanding on why its used - so if anyone can explain that'd be
great.

Thanks,
Andy.
