repositionStructField

a bit more convenient way to reposition fields in a structure

Description

function [s] = repositionStructField(s,shiftfield,newpos)
%shiftfield can be fieldname (string) or current position index of field
%newpos can be either new position index of field, or the name of the field (as string) that is
%currently occupying the new position

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)

i can change the field order in
s = struct('a',val1,'b',val2,'c',val3)
to
s = struct('a',val1,'c',val3,'b',val2)
by
s = repositionStructField(s,'c','b')
or
s = repositionStructField(s,3,2)

it just uses orderfields, but is sometimes a bit more convenient to shift positions of single fields...

In which situation do you use this function?
