rebuilding an autoincrement field
I have a unique, auto incremented field I am using for sorting purposes. I need to be able to change this sort field in a given row to the sort value of another row. Since this field needs to be unique i need the old sort field incremented by one and all the rows with a sort field greater than the sort field to be incremented by one as well. I can do this progammatically but I was hoping MSSQL had something similar built in...

I have searched this forum as well as a couple others and could not find an answer.

Writing a one-time-use SQL document would probably be easiest...
