Does Anyone know how to rearrage a text file

Tommy -- also, if you use a text editor with 'Grep' search and replace capabilities you can do it easily.

search string would be:

(.*)\|(.*)\|(.*)\r

Replace with:

\2|\1|\3\r

and 'replace all'

BBEdit on the Mac has had that kind of search built in for years.
Not sure what the comparable Windows text editor would be, but the search and replace string would be the same in any editor that can do regex (regular expression) searching.
