Swap Sort Order

Hi, I am looking for some help on an application that I am developing.

What I am trying to accomplish is to change the sortorder column from 1 to 9 and then have all the other sort records update themselves. IE. 1 becomes 9, 2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2,....., 9 becomes 10, 10 becomes 11, etc...
Any help would be appreciated!!!!!

very sketchy description, not sure i understand

might have helped if you could say what it's for

Code:

select foo
     , bar
  from yourtable
order 
    by case 
when sortfield=1 then 9
when sortfield<9 then sortfield-1
when sortfield>8 then sortfield+1
end
