Hello Martin,

There is a utility in the kent source tree that you can use to re-order 
a maf file:

$ mafOrder
mafOrder - order components within a maf file
usage:
    mafOrder mafIn order.lst mafOut
where order.lst has one species per line

How to get the kent source tree:

Please feel free to contact the mailing list support team again if you 
would like more assistance.

Warm regards,

Jen
