Syntax

move(targetnode,siblingnode)

move(targetnode,siblingnode,location)

Description

move(targetnode,siblingnode,location) moves the target node after or before the specified sibling node. Specify location as 'after' or 'before'.

Examples

Change the Order of Two Nodes

Create a tree containing two top-level nodes that each contain a child node.

fig = uifigure;
tree = uitree(fig,'Position',[20 20 200 150]);
node1 = uitreenode(tree,'Text','Runners');
node2 = uitreenode(tree,'Text','Cyclists');
runner = uitreenode(node1,'Text','Joe');
cyclist = uitreenode(node2,'Text','Rajeev');

Move Cyclists before Runners.

move(node2,node1,'before');

Move Cyclists after Runners. Since the default value of location is 'after', you can omit that argument.

move(node2,node1);
