# Move a rule set

`POST /v1/programs/{program_id}/rule-sets/{rule_set_id}/move`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.scrip.dev`
- URL: `https://api.scrip.dev/v1/programs/{program_id}/rule-sets/{rule_set_id}/move`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Move one rule set to the first or last position, or before or after another rule set.

## Path parameters

- `program_id` string, uuid, required
- `rule_set_id` string, uuid, required

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- MoveRuleSetRequest: Moves a rule set to a new position in the program.
  - `expected_rule_configuration_version` integer, required: Current rule_configuration_version from the configuration read endpoint. A stale value rejects the request.
  - `position` SemanticPositionRequest, required: Where to place a resource: first, last, or before or after another resource.
    - `placement` 'before' | 'after', required: Placement within the destination collection.
    - `reference_id` string, uuid, required: Stable sibling ID. Required for before/after and omitted for first/last.

## Response `200`

The rule sets in their new order, and the new rule_configuration_version

- NormalizedRuleSetOrderResponse: The rule sets in a program after reordering, numbered in order, and the new rule configuration version.
  - `rule_configuration_version` integer: Resulting program rule-configuration version.
  - `rule_sets` RuleSetResponse[]: Complete rule-set sequence after renumbering.
    - `created_at` string, date-time: When this rule set was created.
    - `id` string, uuid: The id of the rule set. Use it in `rule_set_id` fields and paths.
    - `key` string: Immutable program-scoped key.
    - `name` string: Operator-facing display name.
    - `order` integer: Execution position among participating sets; lower executes first. This does not control participation, stacking, replacement, or suppression.
    - `program_id` string, uuid: Program that owns this rule set.
    - `rule_configuration_version` integer: Resulting program rule-configuration revision. Present on mutation responses.
    - `updated_at` string, date-time: When this rule set was last modified.

## Other responses

- `400`: The body is malformed, or expected_rule_configuration_version is missing (code: validation_error | invalid_json)
- `401`: The API key is missing or not valid. See [Authentication](https://docs.scrip.dev/authentication).
- `403`: The caller is not allowed to do this.
- `404`: Program not found (code: program_not_found)
- `409`: expected_rule_configuration_version is behind the live version, or the program is archived (code: rule_configuration_version_conflict | program_archived)
- `422`: The rule set or position.reference_id is not in this program (code: invalid_position)
- `429`: Too many requests. Wait the number of seconds in the `Retry-After` header, then retry. See [Limits and durations](https://docs.scrip.dev/limits#rate-limits).
- `500`: Something failed on Scrip's side. Retry the request, and quote `request_id` if it keeps failing. [Errors](https://docs.scrip.dev/errors) lists every code, and the [API introduction](https://docs.scrip.dev/api-reference/introduction) describes the error format.
