I can't seem to get my brain around this one today, so I was hoping to borrow the group brains for a while. :)

I have an array: laOrder[6]. Each element contains a number 1-6. But I only want each number used once. I start with this:

laOrder[1] = 1
laOrder[2] = 2
laOrder[3] = 3
laOrder[4] = 4
laOrder[5] = 5
laOrder[6] = 6

If I do this:

laOrder[3] = 1

I want the rest to renumber themselves, but keep the same order:

laOrder[1] = 5
laOrder[2] = 6
laOrder[3] = 1
laOrder[4] = 2
laOrder[5] = 3
laOrder[6] = 4

Is there a simple way to do this? It seems like it shouldn't be hard, but my brain is acting like it does when I think about recursion. LOL!

Thanks,

Michelle
