D=[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ]
now i want to reorder the data
D1=[3 4 7 1 2 6 5]this is for example,
i want the order to be changed from D,without using randperm function,please help

What about generating two random numbers as indices and swapping the data of the indices? And then do this in a loop.
clc
D=[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ]
for k=1:10
x1=randi(length(D));
x2=randi(length(D));
dummy=D(x1);
D(x1)=D(x2);
D(x2)=dummy
end

Second possible way is
D = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7];
declare any temp variable to have the order of indices. For example.
T = [3 4 7 1 2 6 5];
D1 = D(T);
In given example your indices and values are same, but for different values following code will work.

D.E. Knuth has shown some shuffle methods, e.g.:
D1 = D;
for i = 2:numel(D) % Knuth shuffle in forward direction:
w = ceil(rand * i); % 1 <= w <= i
t = D1(w);
D1(w) = D1(i);
D1(i) = t;
end
This is proven to be unbiased and cheaper than using 2 random numbers for swapping. See also: FEX: RPG-lab.

Sure:
[~, idx] = sort(rand(size(D)));
D1 = D(idx);
