Fix up shipment line positions
AI agents: read /llms.txt; add .md to any page URL. This page as Markdown: /reference/shipment-line-items/v2-shipment-item-sort.md. Index of every page and the rules for every call: /llms.txt. Guides and concepts in one file: /llms-full.txt. OpenAPI: /openapi.json.

Makes room around a line whose position you just changed, so positions stay unique and spaced. It doesn't move the line to a new place: set position with Update a shipment line first, then call this with the line (current) and its new neighbours (previous, next).
- Send all three as null (or a
currentthat isn't on the shipment) to re-space every line, keeping their order. - If
previousandnextare both sent and are within 1000 of each other, every line is re-spaced. - Otherwise, if the line is within 1000 of a neighbour, only it moves: to the middle of
previousandnext, or 3000 past the only neighbour you sent. - Otherwise nothing changes.
Returns is_position_sorted and, when positions changed, every line (data).
Business rules
- Hash ids only in
previous,currentandnext: a unique key passes validation but fails with 500.
Side effects
- Open Admin Portal pages, and Customer Portal pages the order's customer has open, refresh when positions change.
Path parameters
Your team slug, shown as Team ID next to your API key in Profile.
- Example
your-team
- Example
The shipment's
id(a hash id), as its answers show it. Its unique key (shp_...) also works, but API answers don't include it.- Example
MQyJUnd3oty75h
- Example
Request body
application/json, required.
currentstring | nullThe line you moved (hash id).
nextstring | nullThe line now after it (hash id), or null.
previousstring | nullThe line now before it (hash id), or null.

Errors
401The API key is missing or wrong (
unauthenticated).403You are not allowed to do this.
api_access_not_in_plan: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}. Other refusals use the error envelope, withunauthorizedoruser_is_not_authorized.- When
- Your role can't edit this order.
- Fix
- Ask the team owner to adjust your role or assign you to the order.
404Not found.
page_not_found: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's.code: null, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.- When
- The shipment isn't your team's.
- Fix
- Check the id.
422The request was refused and changed nothing.
validation_failedlists what to fix inerror.fields; other codes name a business rule, explained inerror.message. A few checks answer with only{"message": "..."}. An operation that calls another service (a payment provider, a carrier, an accounting app) can answerconnect_timeout("Please retry again") when that service does not answer in time: the change may or may not have happened there, so read the record back before you retry.- When
- An id that isn't a hash id (
validation_failed). - Fix
- Send line hash ids.
500A business rule refused the request (see the operation's errors), or something failed inside YoPrint. Refusals use the error envelope with a code such as
action_not_allowed; an unexpected failure answers{"message": "Server Error"}. Repeating a refusal gets the same answer; after an unexpected failure, read the record back before you retry a change.- When
- A line unique key (
shpitm_...) instead of a hash id. - Fix
- Send the line's
id.
