I don't think it's necessary to "reload" the tree after affecting a change to the underlying DBF(s). You can change the x3 Value in the DBF and use the node "Remove" function (to delete it's old position) and the node "add after/before" features to reposition the node.

The tree can be sorted to. If X3 could be part of the nodes text property (like the very left part) you could also reposition a node by simply changing it's text property and then issuing a sort (providing it is not moving to another [different] parent node).
